Perek 23 completes the first section of prophecies addressed to the nations with a final prophecy addressed to the opulent Tyre (in Hebrew, Zor), the maritime trade city. The prophecy ends with God’s remembrance and rehabilitation of the city after a seventy year period.

Perek 24 begins a new section of the book (24-27) which includes prophecies for the End of Days regarding the destruction of the land, the salvation of Israel and the revelation of God’s kingship. In perek 24 Yeshayahu describes the horrifying collapse of the land of Israel—a collapse which will reveal the kingship of God to the entire world.
