The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz,.... This is either the particular title of the prophecy contained in this single chapter, as Jarchi and Abarbinel think; seeing the second chapter Isaiah 2:1 begins with another title, "the word that Isaiah saw", c. or rather it is the common title of the whole book since it is the vision which Isaiah saw in the reign of four kings, as is later affirmed; and...
