📚 Historical Context

Isaiah is addressing the nation of Israel (descendants of Jacob) during a time when they had turned away from God's ways. This comes after Isaiah's vision of God's future kingdom where all nations will come to learn God's ways. He's urging his own people not to be left out of this blessing.
