Best Answer

The Book of Isaiah is primarily about the Babylonian Exile, although the prophet Isaiah lived 150 years before the Exile. Scholars long ago solved this puzzle. They say that only chapters 1 to 39 were really written by Isaiah of Jerusalem, with numerous later additions. Because of other authors, Isaiah is often called First Isaiah or Proto-Isaiah.

Chapters 40 to 55 record the words of a sixth century prophet living in exile in Babylon, called Deutero-Isaiah or Second Isaiah. Finally, chapters 56 to 66, from the post-Exilic period, are either a continuation of the work of Deutero-Isaiah or written by one of his disciples, now known as Trito-Isaiah or Third (III) Isaiah.

Scholars say that there are striking stylistic variations and differences in vocabulary between I Isaiah and II Isaiah. First Isaiah's vocabulary is limited and his utterances are designed for delivery to specific audiences. Second Isaiah's work is more uniform and lyrical in style, more hymnic in quality, and more extensive in vocabulary. His chapters form a unity of thought and emphasis centred in the restoration from Babylonian captivity.

Why did the prophet Isaiah go into exile?

There is no evidence that the prophet Isaiah ever went into exile. Isaiah 1:1 introduces the book as the work of Isaiah, son of Amoz, who lived in the reigns of the Judahite kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. He wrote about events that occurred during the reigns of those kings, without any hint of being exiled. However, the Book of Isaiah is considered to have been a composite work. An anonymous author, with a different writing style, continued the Book of Isaiah more than a hundred years later, during the Babylonian Exile. This author may have been born in exile.
