Isaiah begins with the charge that Yahweh’s “sons,” the people of Judah, have “rebelled” against Him. The word is frequently used of political insurrection (1 Kings 12:19; 2 Kings 1:1; 3:5, 7; 8:20). Judah has become a nation of insurrectionists against her divine King.
Isaiah ends on the same note, with a vision of what will happen to the insurrectionists in Judah. The very last verse tells us that all flesh will “go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched.”
