A Prophetic Poem

Isaiah 9:8-10:4 is divided into four subsections. The first subsection deals with pride (9:8-12), and the fourth refers to social injustice (10:1-4). The four subsections are part of a single prophecy but are divided structurally with an identical poetic refrain at the end of each section: “For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still” (9:12, 17, 21; 10:4; see also 5:25).

This prophecy has a dual fulfillment: first, when the ancient kingdom of Israel was destroyed, and second, when the world will be destroyed at the time of the second coming of Christ.
