Isaiah 22 exposes a city feasting when it should repent and a steward seeking status over service. It directs us to trust the Lord who appoints faithful stewards and fulfills the promise to David in Christ, who opens and none can shut.
Isaiah 21 is a night watch: a storm fells Babylon, a sentry answers anxious cries, and caravans are told to serve fugitives while God’s clock runs. The chapter teaches watchful faith that rejects idols, loves neighbors, and waits for the morning the Lord has promised.
Assyria’s capture of Ashdod frames Isaiah’s three-year sign: stripped and barefoot, he embodies the fate awaiting Egypt and Cush. Judah’s temptation to seek southern help is exposed as a path to shame, and the chapter counsels a better trust in the Lord who defends Zion in his time and way.
The Lord rides a cloud into Egypt, idols tremble, and the Nile economy collapses. Then mercy rises: an altar in Egypt, vows kept, healing given, and a highway joining Egypt, Assyria, and Israel under a triune blessing. Isaiah 19 shows how God strikes to heal and gathers former enemies into worship.
Damascus falls and Ephraim fades, yet God preserves gleanings so that eyes turn back to the Holy One. Isaiah 17 diagnoses forgotten trust, unfruitful technique, and roaring nations, then steadies hearts with the Rock who rebukes the storm and keeps a remnant for renewal.
Isaiah 16 charts a path from Moab’s ruin to Zion’s mercy. Refugee ethics, tribute humility, and a love-founded Davidic throne frame a timed word that ends pride and restores hope under the rule that hastens righteousness.
Isaiah 15 names Moab’s cities as a night of ruin falls and lets their wail reach the borders. The prophet’s own heart cries even as streams run dry and blood stains the river, preparing the way for chapter 16’s call to seek shelter under a throne established in faithful love.
Isaiah 14 begins with compassion and ends with a vow. The Lord re-chooses Israel, teaches a taunt over Babylon’s fallen king, exposes pride’s five “I will”s, swears to crush Assyria, and declares Zion a refuge for the afflicted. Through it all, the hand stretched out over all nations cannot be turned back.
Isaiah 13 raises the Lord’s banner over history and announces Babylon’s downfall. The oracle blends battlefield and sky, humbling pride and comforting the oppressed by revealing a God who musters judgment now and previews the final Day when arrogance is ended and justice stands.
Isaiah 12 caps the promises of Isaiah 7–11 with a compact hymn. It teaches a rescued people to confess God as salvation, draw joy from the wells he provides, and make his deeds known among the nations because the Holy One is great in their midst.
From the stump of Jesse rises a Spirit-anointed ruler whose just word brings peace from courtrooms to creation. Under his banner, nations rally and a scattered remnant comes home along a highway the Lord himself makes.
Isaiah 10 indicts crooked laws, reveals Assyria as a rod in God’s hand, and then humbles that rod for boasting. At the center stands a promise: a remnant will return and truly rely on the Holy One, as the Mighty One lifts Zion’s yoke and fells the forest of pride.
Isaiah 9 moves from gloom to glory: a great light dawns in Galilee, a child is given whose government and peace will never end, and a sober refrain warns that pride which rebuilds without repentance only deepens the night.
Isaiah 8 makes prophecy public, predicts swift plunder of Judah’s foes, and warns that Assyria’s flood will reach the neck. The chapter calls God’s people from whispers to the word and steadies them with Immanuel until darkness breaks into dawn.
The Syro-Ephraimite crisis reveals Judah’s fears and God’s fidelity. Isaiah 7 promises Immanuel, ties stability to faith, and warns that the very alliances Ahaz pursues will become instruments of discipline.
