Different sections of Isaiah seem to have unique messages for various audiences. In chapters 1–39, the people are struggling with fear of threats. In chapters 40–55, they need God’s comfort in the loss and suffering of the exile. In chapters 56–66, they need God’s full restoration—they’re desperate for future security in a time of great uncertainty. With this in mind, read the passage below. 

And say to him, “Be careful, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah. Because Syria, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you.”

In the question below, see if you can identify which section of Isaiah this passage is located.
