A:

The Book of Isaiah, which at first appears to be the work of one person, is considered by most biblical scholars to be a composite work, consisting of contributions from three different authors over a very long period of time.

Chapters 40-55 were written by an anonymous author living in exile in Babylon during the sixth century BCE, called Second Isaiah, II Isaiah or Deutero-Isaiah. Chapter 49 should therefore be read in the context of the Babylonian Exile.

Second Isaiah knew that the Jews would soon be released to return to their homeland and so, in typical flowery language, announced that God had chosen to deliver them, and that soon it would be their enemies who would be oppressed.
