God’s people are formed, chosen, and redeemed by the LORD, so they must not be fooled by the attractive emptiness of idols.

God encourages his failed servant people not to fear, because he has redeemed them, called them by name, and promised to do a new thing.

The world is called to sing because God is doing a new thing, but God’s own servant people must first face their blindness and sin.

God introduces his perfect Servant, who will bring justice to the nations and light to those in darkness.

When the nations panic and turn to idols, God tells his chosen people not to fear, because he is with them

God is beyond comparison: he made the universe, rules the nations, outlasts idols, and gives strength to the weary who hope in him.

God speaks comfort to his exiled people: their sin has been paid for, their God is coming, and his word will endure forever.
