This book is a study of the various metaphors, figures, similes,
and usages of water found in the book of Isaiah. It covers
representations of water relating to: water as a blessing in
nature; the sea as a symbol of the expanse of space; Yahweh, the
rider of the clouds; water or absence of water as symbol of divine
punishment, hardships, and affliction; water as a defense strategy
in military circumstances; water as a means of dilution; rain and
snow as symbols of Yahweh's word; various forms of water
symbolizing arrogance; rain, streams, water, and snow as symbols of
forgiveness; water as a metaphor for Yahweh's control over nations
and triumph over enemies; calm water as a symbol of trust in
Yahweh; Yahweh's knowledge as waters cover the sea; water, lack of
water, and overcoming threatening water as metaphors or similes for
restoration and help; the great river as a symbol of the influx of
nations; tears as the manifestation of lament and mourning; dew as
a symbol of serenity and life-giving power; the personification of
water; troubled waters as a symbol of the wicked; swimming as
desperate effort to survive; and cultic practices involving water.
These themes emphasize important religious truths in the book of
Isaiah. They include many concepts dealing with the nature and
mighty acts of Yahweh; sin, punishment and forgiveness; Yahweh's
work over and through nations; personal and corporate matters like
trust and lament; and Yahweh's work in nature.
