What reading level is The Earlier Prophecies of Isaiah book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That the downfall of the Babylonian power shall be perpetual, is now expressed by a command to slaughter the children of the king. Prepare for his sons a slaughter, for the iniquity of their fathers. Let them not arise and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with 288 ISAIAH, CHAP. XIV.
cities. This verse is regarded by Gesenius, Rosenmuller, Maurer, and Umbreit, as the close of the triumphal song beginning in v. 4. Hitzig and Hendewerk suppose it to have closed in the preceding ve...rse, as the address is no longer to the king of Babylon. Ewald extends it through v. 23. But these distinctions rest upon a false assumption of exact and artificial structure. The dramatic form of the prediction is repeatedly shifted, so that the words of the triumphant Jews, of the dead, of the Prophet, and of God himself, succeed each other, as it were, insensibly, and without any attempt to make the points of the transition prominent. The command in the first clause is not addressed specifically to the Medes and Persians, but more indefinitely to the executioners of God's decree against Babylon, or, as Calvin calls them, his lictores out camijices.
