The Vineyard Violated
This week’s study explores Isa 7:17-25, a passage with numerous allusions to the parable of the divine vineyard and its interpretation in ch. 5. This passage is the heart of 7:1-8:15, and emphasizes that the coming Assyrian invasion will result, not from Ahaz’s labored attempts at diplomacy, but from the Lord’s sovereign command over the nations.

I am trying to figure out how to use Bibleworks to tell me where Asyndeton is used as a conjunction. Could you please help! Thanks

You might take a look at my post from a year ago entitled, “How many women” (http://cyber-chapel.org/blog/?p=6). This post uses Bibleworks to search for instances of asyndeton in John’s writings.
The current state of Bible search software is really great at searching on the basis of the lexicon and morphology, but doesn’t yet deal with syntax in a satisfactory manner. What Bibleworks can do is generate a list of examples that you can then review manually, much faster than you could read through the whole Bible.
Please let me know if this post helps. If you have a specific search that you’re trying to formulate, let’s correspond further.
