More Prophecy
These chapters contain prophecies against Ethiopia, Egypt, Babylon, Edom, and Arabia. Additionally, chapter 22 is a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem with a personal prophecy to a man named Shebna who had planned an elaborate tomb and funeral for his inevitable death. Because of his hubris, the Lord rebuked him and allowed him to die in shame and poverty.
One notable section is in chapter 20, when the Lord is rebuking Egypt and Ethiopia. He had Isaiah walk around naked and barefoot for three years as a symbolic gesture for the fate of these nations.
