The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem
The word
The term "word" in this context is derived from the Hebrew word "dabar," which signifies not just a spoken or written word, but a divine message or revelation. In the biblical tradition, a "word" from God is powerful and creative, as seen in Genesis where God speaks creation into existence. This emphasizes the authority and divine origin of the message Isaiah is about to deliver. It is not merely human insight but a communication from God Himself, carrying the weight of divine truth and purpose.

that Isaiah son of Amoz saw
The phrase highlights the prophetic vision given to Isaiah, whose name means "Yahweh is salvation." Isaiah, the son of Amoz, is a significant prophet in the Old Testament, and his visions are not just auditory but visual, indicating a profound spiritual experience. The use of "saw" suggests that this revelation was vivid and clear, a direct insight into God's plans. Isaiah's lineage, being the son of Amoz, places him within a historical and familial context, grounding his prophetic ministry in a real-world setting, which is crucial for understanding the authenticity and authority of his message.

concerning Judah and Jerusalem
This phrase specifies the audience and the focus of the prophecy. Judah and Jerusalem were central to the identity of the Israelites, with Jerusalem being the political and spiritual heart of the nation. Historically, this was a time of political turmoil and spiritual decline, making the message particularly urgent. The prophecy is directed towards the Southern Kingdom of Judah, emphasizing God's ongoing relationship with His chosen people despite their failings. Jerusalem, as the city of David and the location of the Temple, symbolizes God's presence among His people and His covenantal promises. The mention of these places underscores the significance of the prophecy in the context of God's redemptive history and His plans for His people.

II.

(1) The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.--On the relation of this chapter to Isaiah 1, see Introduction. The moral and social state described in it points to an earlier date than the reformation of Hezekiah. The sins of the people are more flagrant; but there is not as yet with them the added guilt of a formal and ceremonial worship. The character of the king in Isaiah 3:12 corresponds with that of Ahaz. The influence of the Philistines, traceable in Isaiah 2:6, is probably connected with their invasion of Judah in that reign (2Chronicles 28:18). The mention of "ships of Tarshish" in Isaiah 2:16 points to a time when the commerce of the Red Sea (1Kings 9:26; 1Kings 22:48) was still in the hands of Judah, and prior, therefore, to the capture of Elath by Rezin, king of Syria (2Kings 16:6). We are able, therefore, with hardly the shadow of uncertainty, to fix the date of the whole section as belonging to the early years of the reign of Ahaz, with, perhaps, a backward glance at evils which belonged also to the reigns of Uzziah and Jotham. The title of the superscription unites in an exceptional form the two ideas of the prophet and of the seer. What follows is "the word" of Isaiah, but it is a word that he has seen. . . .

Verse 1. - TITLE OF THE CHAPTER. It is generally allowed that the heading belongs, not to this chapter only, but to a section of the work, beginning here and ending at the close, either of Isaiah 4. or of Isaiah 5. It is probable that the section was originally published separately.
