Second Isaiah, a nameless group
The poems of Isaiah 40–55 were composed by anonymous Judean scribes scholars call Second Isaiah, writing to comfort their people after Babylon's devastation.
Great poetry, no byline.
Dig deeper
Isaiah 1–39 ends with a forecast of Judah's downfall; without pausing, the book begins anew with these poems of consolation.
Bible reference: Isaiah 40–55
