The words were written by the 8th century BCE prophet Isaiah, though there is evidence that the majority of the book was written during and after the Babylonian captivity.Scholars have speculated that there are 3 separate collections of oracles of Isaiah - Proto-Isaiah (Ch. 1-39), containing the words of Isaiah, Deutero-Isaiah (Ch. 40-55), the work of an unknown author during the exile, and Trito-Isaiah (Ch. 56-66), an anthology written after the return from Babylon. Despite this view, some speculate that the message of the book is split into two - the first half (1-33) focuses on judgment and restoration of Judah, Jerusalem, and the nations, while the second half (34-66) presumes that judgment was declared but restoration will follow. | |

Deal with the Devil | |

Deal with the Devil: The Living Bible translation of Isaiah 28:15 has God through Isaiah telling Israel "You have struck a bargain with death, you say, and sold yourselves to the devil in exchange for his protection against the Assyrians." But God tells them a few verses later "I will cancel your agreement of compromise with death and the devil, so when the terrible enemy floods in, you will be trampled into the ground." | |

Jumped at the Call: In Chapter 6, when Isaiah sees the glory of the Lord in the days after King Uzziah died, he heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” Then Isaiah said, “Here am I; send me.” Before He sends him as a prophet, though, the Lord has to purge Isaiah of his sins. | |

Swords to Plowshares: The phrase "swords to plowshares" originated here.

Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (Swift Is The Booty, Speedy Is The Prey) would be given to Isaiah's child as a sign that the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria before the child even learns how to speak. | |

Shattered World: In Isaiah 13:13, God moves the earth out of its place with the heavens shaking, but only because the world is too evil at that point. Mentioned again in other places such as the book of Revelation where every mountain and island will vanish and the stars will fall out of the sky, with Isaiah mentioning some of them at least falling to Earth like figs. Sounds a bit like asteroids right there. | |

Anti-Love Song | |
| Book of Isaiah / int_6f77ef8e | comment |
Anti-Love Song: Subverted example: The Song of the Vineyard in Chapter 5 speaks of a vineyard that's just no good, even though its owner does everything he's supposed to, so he's advised to just ditch it. Apparently, the people of Jerusalem were supposed to understand this as an ironic metaphor with the vineyard being a wife. When the metaphor is explained in the end, it turns out that the man is actually God and the vineyard is the nation of Israel. Oops. | |

Streaking: God had Isaiah go about his business three years without clothes as a sign against Egypt and Ethiopia, that the king of Assyria will lead them away into captivity bare-naked.

Shameful Strip: God tells the women in Jerusalem in Isaiah 32:11 (Evangelical Heritage Version), regarding the coming judgment: "Tremble, you complacent women! Be worried, you carefree girls! Strip yourselves naked, and put sackcloth around your waist." God in His judgment parable against Babylon in Chapter 47 tells the city's personification to strip herself naked and "pass through the waters" where He will meet her in judgment. | |

King Sennacherib of Assyria does this to King Hezekiah when he threatens to destroy Judah, saying "where are the gods" of the nations that he had conquered and suggesting that Hezekiah's God will not save him. It doesn't work well for the Assyrian king when, after King Hezekiah prays to God, Sennacherib finds that all 185,000 of his troops are dead. (This also appears in 2nd Kings.) | |

Marriage of Convenience: Isaiah prophesies of a day when seven women would join themselves to one man in marriage, saying, "We will eat our own food, and wear our own clothes, but let us be called by your name to take away our disgrace," resulting in a polygamous version of this for the sake of having children. Christians interpret this as a prophecy of those who claim the name of Jesus Christ without fully becoming believers. | |

No Animosity in the Afterlife: Chapters 11 and 65 has a detailed passage on the post-Last Judgment world (though some may say this is talking about the Millennial Kingdom in the Book of Revelation): | |

Dreaming of Things to Come | |
| Book of Isaiah / int_af7d483f | comment |
Dreaming of Things to Come: Isaiah saw 2 centuries into Israel's future. Some scholars believe these were written by other prophets and attributed them to Isaiah to increase its authority. And possibly even centuries beyond that into the future, when God reveals that He is creating "a new heavens and new earth", which is only seen near the end of the Book of Revelation. | |

Blah, Blah, Blah: Actually occurs, of all places, in Isaiah 28:10 and 13. As translated by the New International Version: "Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there." (Hebrew: "Sav lasav, sav lasav, Kav lakav, kav lakav, Ze'er sham, ze'er sham.") This represents people mocking the prophet's words as meaningless blabber. The Message translation of the Bible actually says, "blah, blah, blah, blah". | |

Messianic Archetype | |
| Book of Isaiah / int_c98b7916 | comment |
Messianic Archetype: The Trope Namer, since Isaiah prophesies that a Messiah will come to restore the kingdom of Israel. However, since Messianic Archetypes are specifically modeled after the Christian Messiah, Isaiah's Messiah doesn't fit the description at all, because either Isaiah is actually talked about Christ and thus obviously not copying him or he's describing someone completely unrelated to Christ, because Isaiah could only have known about the yet-to-be-born carpenter through revelation. | |

Words Can Break My Bones: Isaiah 11:4 is part of a prophecy of a coming king who will "strike down a land with the rod of his mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of his lips." While this may be interpreted metaphorically, there are Christian readers who interpret it being literal with that prophecy speaking about the coming of Jesus Christ, who in the Book of Revelation slays the nations with "the sword of His mouth". | |

Light Is Not Good: God's glory as seen by Isaiah in Chapter 6, due to his own sinful state and living among "a people of unclean lips". Fortunately, God had one of His angelic beings purge Isaiah from his sins by taking a hot coal with a pair of tongs and pressing it against Isaiah's lips. Lucifer (meaning "light bringer" or "shining one") in Isaiah 14:12, since this is the name given either to Satan or to the king of Babylon who was exalting himself above God. | |

Where Is Your X Now?: God does this when speaking to Egypt in Isaiah 19:11-12: King Sennacherib of Assyria does this to King Hezekiah when he threatens to destroy Judah, saying "where are the gods" of the nations that he had conquered and suggesting that Hezekiah's God will not save him. It doesn't work well for the Assyrian king when, after King Hezekiah prays to God, Sennacherib finds that all 185,000 of his troops are dead. (This also appears in 2nd Kings.) | |
