About the Book of Isaiah
Isaiah is the longest of the prophetic books and the most quoted Old Testament book in the New Testament. Its 66 chapters span judgment and comfort, pronouncing doom on unfaithful nations while promising a coming Messiah and a restored world.
Isaiah's language reaches the most quoted verse in the Old Testament, "For unto us a child is born" (Isaiah 9:6), and gives the Bible its most beloved picture of hope: waiting on the Lord renews strength (Isaiah 40:31). Isaiah 53, the portrait of the suffering servant, is read by Christians as the clearest Old Testament picture of the cross, and the New Testament quotes Isaiah more than any other prophet. The book's later chapters ring with the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, of swords beaten into plowshares, and of a highway for the redeemed — images that have outlived the empires that once threatened Israel.
