Isaiah
Chapter
Isaiah is the first collection of prophecy of the four major Hebrew prophets. Judgment to come is fundamental to Isaiah’s teaching. Israel and Judah are to perish but a remnant will survive and a new Jerusalem will rise up as a city of the faithful. It is also in Isaiah that memorable prophecies of Christ’s coming are found.
Isaiah 9
9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
