Notes

Isaiah 48:15

I have brought him, and he will succeed in his mission: Cyrus would humiliate Babylon and liberate Israel (Isaiah 45:1–4).

Isaiah 48:12–22

This final trial speech reviews the arguments of Isaiah 40–48 and presents the final conclusion.

Isaiah 48:1–22

The Lord urges Israel to abandon its long history of rebellion and pay attention to his words. In Hebrew, the word for listening often means the same as obeying or acting on what is heard.

Isaiah 47:1–48:22

We can draw two conclusions from the earlier evidence that the Lord alone is God:

  1. Babylon's great pride is foolish (Isaiah 47:1–15);

  2. Israel should listen to the word of the Lord (Isaiah 48:1–22).
