Isaiah is the source of nearly a quarter of the Old Testament quotations and allusions in the New Testament, more than any other book (although The Psalms might argue its case!)
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul, and Jesus quoted from Isaiah’s prophecies more than all the other prophets put together.
More than half of the chapters of Isaiah are represented in NT writings.
What’s more, fully 90% of the New Testament’s 260 chapters quote from Isaiah’s writings.
It’s that important!
Justin leads us in contemplation over how God perceives our sinful ways and detests of them. He calls on us to judge ourselves and tell what more could be done by God to grow good fruits in us and yet we still produce bitter fruits.

Zwai goes on to further analyse the damage sin does to us and how we are decayed by sin and doomed by our stubborness, but we find hope in the restoration offered through salvation.
