Section 2, Part 2, Book 1

Isaiah is largely poetic, containing only a few <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/narrative/">narrative</a> sections, which correlate strongly to parallel material from 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles.&nbsp; Although the text of Isaiah bears no structural indications of internal divisions, there is a major <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/transition/">transition</a> in <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/tone/">tone</a> that marks the first part of the book (Chapters 1-39) from the second (Chapters 40-66).

Isaiah closes with a set of prophecies <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/foreshadowing/">foreshadowing</a> a coming age of restoration in which a new heaven and a new earth will be instituted and the presence of <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/hebrew-bible/key-figures/#719157">G-d</a> will bring all things to their fulfillment of peace and joy.</p>
