Isaiah 1 is the first chapter of the Book of Isaiah, one of the Book of the Prophets in the Hebrew Bible, which is the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] [2] In this "vision of Isaiah concerning Judah and Jerusalem", the prophet calls the nation to repentance and predicts the destruction of the first temple in the siege of Jerusalem.
Additionally, Isaiah’s teachings as they appear in Second Nephi form a chiasmus: chapters 12–15 discuss destruction relating to the covenant people; chapter 16 contains a call to repentance, and chapters 17–22 follow themes of God’s covenant people returning to him.
In contrast to v.1, God is spoken of in the third person. The Zion tradition (see Isaiah 2:1–4; 60:1–22) and royal tradition are here connected.

The verse contains 9 sentences which exhibit chiasmus, but perhaps more interesting is that it is found in the longest chapter of the Quran, Al-Baqara, which itself contains a fractal chiastic structure in its 286 verses, i.e. where each (outer) chiasm is composed of (inner) chiastic structures reflected in some sense in the analogue outer chiasm.
The seven gifts are found in the Book of Isaiah [4] 11:1–2, a passage which refers to the characteristics of a Messianic figure empowered by the "Spirit of the Lord". [ 5 ] The Greek and Hebrew versions of the Bible differ slightly in how the gifts are enumerated.
There are also Blue Letter Bible Android and iPhone mobile apps. [3] [4] The Blue Letter Bible is so called because of the blue color of the hyperlinks.
