Isaiah 8 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in 8:6-18, 21-22.
Special concepts in this chapter
Trust in Yahweh
Israel will not trust in Yahweh. Instead, they will trust in their own power, their Gentile allies and the power of false gods. They will be punished because the power of Yahweh is greater than all of these. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod)
