Iz 40,1 - 40 – 66. V hl. 39 predpovedal prorok babylonské zajatie. To bolo potrebné pre porozumenie ďalších hláv (40 – 66), pretože sa v nich hneď od začiatku predpokladá toto zajatie. Cieľom týchto proroctiev je tešiť zajatcov, že sa vyslobodia. Tým sa však cieľ Knihy nevyčerpáva. Vyslobodenie Izraelitov z babylonského zajatia je len predobraz oslobodenia celého ľudského pokolenia z moci diablovej; spása, ktorej je pôvodcom perzský kráľ Kýros (pozri bližšie v úvode k tomuto prorokovi), je len predobraz spásy, ktorej pôvodcom bol Mesiáš, Ježiš Kristus. – Hl. 40 je predslov k týmto proroctvám.
Iz 40,1-5 - Boh pripravuje spásu ľudstva. Obraz verša 3 vzal prorok zo zvyku, že hlásateľ oznamoval príchod panovníka a staral sa, aby cesty, ktorými bude kráčať kráľ, boli urovnané a schodné. Boh odstránil všetky prekážky, ktoré jeho ľud postretnú na ceste, po ktorej sa bude vracať zo zajatia.
Iz 40,6 - Ľudská zloba neprekazí spásonosné Božie úmysly.
Iz 40,11 - Boh je dobrý k svojmu ľudu ako pastier k svojim ovečkám.
Iz 40,16 - Všetko nádherné cédrové a cyprusové drevo a všetka zverina pohoria v pomere k Božej velebnosti by bola iba nepomerne malá obeta. Tým sa, pravda, neodsudzujú starozákonné obety, len sa pripomína ich nedostatočnosť.
Iz 40,21 - Izraeliti mali chápať, že len Jahve je Boh.
Iz 40,26 - Izraelitom zajatým v Babylone mohlo by však prísť azda pokušenie, že sú hviezdy mocnejšie než Jahve. Hoci modloslužobná úcta hviezd bola aj inde rozšírená, prvenstvo patrí Babylonu. Tam bolo hvezdárstvo najviac rozšírené, preto tam aj kult hviezd mal najvýhodnejšiu pôdu (porov. 47,13). K Bohu však nemožno prirovnať ani hviezdy, veď: "Ktože ich stvoril?"
