Isaiah 39 is the thirty-ninth chapter of the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Isaiah, and is a part of the Book of the Prophets.[1][2] The Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary describes chapters 36 to 39 as an "historical appendix closing the first division of Isaiah's prophecies ... added to make the parts of these referring to Assyria more intelligible".[3] This chapter concludes the section of Isaiah attributed to Isaiah himself (Proto-Isaiah). In the New King James Version, this chapter is sub-titled "The Babylonian Envoys".[4] Isaiah foretells the exile to Babylon of the people of Judah.
