Isaiah 2 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in 2:2-22.
Special concepts in this chapter
Latter days
This is probably a reference to the "last days." This makes parts of this prophecy reference events near the end of this world. Most scholars expect these prophecies to be fulfilled by Jesus. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lastday and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fulfill)
Idolatry
While the first prophecy of Isaiah concerned the lack of justice in Judah, this chapter focuses on the presence of idolatry in Judah. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice)
