The “book of comfort” opens with tender grace: “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God,” announcing that Jerusalem’s warfare is ended and her sin pardoned, and that a voice cries to prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness. The chapter magnifies the incomparable greatness of God, who holds the seas in His hand and to whom the nations are a drop in a bucket, and closes with the promise that “they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength... they shall mount up with wings like eagles.”
