“Trio-Isaiah” (Chs. 56-66). 

        Unlike the two preceding sections of Isaiah, there is no coherent structure to be found here. Some chapters deal with “the Jerusalem that now is”; normally the picture seems to be of the post-exilic city, but sometimes the language is more applicable to the city of Ahaz and Manasseh, especially in its references to idolatry. Other chapters are eschatological. By a number of scholars chs. 60-62 are taken as belonging to “Deutero-Isaiah,” with 61:1-3 as another Servant Song. All we can do here is to indicate the various sections, adding a few comments.
