Isaiah
Isaiah has 66 chapters. Read Isaiah in the New International Version, chapter by chapter, free and without an account.
Isaiah brings together prophetic warnings and visions of restoration. It confronts injustice, false worship, and misplaced political trust, while proclaiming God’s holiness and sovereignty. Accounts involving Judah’s kings give way to words of comfort, release from exile, and servant passages. The later chapters address communal faithfulness and envision renewed Jerusalem, gathered nations, and new heavens and a new earth.
