| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
| 0:13.3 | In the first 39 chapters of Isaiah, we've read his prediction of Jerusalem's fall to Babylon, |
| 0:17.9 | which happened approximately 100 years after he wrote those words, and we'll read more about |
