"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" … For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
— Isaiah 6:8; 9:6 (NIV)
People who search bible verses about Isaiah want Scripture on Yesha'yahu — the son of Amoz who saw the Lord on a throne, cried "Woe to me," had his lips touched by a coal, answered "Here am I. Send me!", and spoke the promises of Immanuel, renewed strength, and the servant "pierced for our transgressions" — not only prophets in general. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about Jeremiah, Bible verses about Elijah, Bible verses about prophets, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about strength, Bible verses about fear, Bible verses about peace, Bible verses about Jesus, and Bible verse of the day. Isaiah here means the eighth-century BC prophet of Jerusalem — distinct from generic prophet lists.
Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, יְשַׁעְיָהוּ Yesha'yahu (Strong's H3470; Bible Hub H3470) — Isaiah, "the Lord has saved." He prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1). This list tracks that Isaiah inventory — not a prophet-alone twelve.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Isaiah 6 dwells on the vision of the Lord's holiness, Isaiah's confession, and his ready "Send me" (Bible Hub MHC Isaiah 6; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Isaiah 6). (Hope and strength pages live elsewhere; this list centers Isaiah the prophet.)
