Notes

Isaiah 48:1–11

This prophecy is a disputation, a speech in which the prophet argues a set of points against his audience.

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:

Babylon's great pride is foolish (Isaiah 47:1–15);
Israel should listen to the word of the Lord (Isaiah 48:1–22).
