This chapter records the renewal of Isaiah's spirit and a sermon on mercy in judgment of the people of Israel, a people that could not perceive or understand it. Verse 14 says, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and his name shall be called Immanuel." A prophesy of the birth of Christ.
It records the combine efforts of the King of Israel and the King of Syria against Ahaz, the King of Judah. They took their combined forces to Jerusalem but could not prevail against it as was foretold by Isaiah to encourage King Ahaz. In spite of God's deliverance of Judah in this incident, they still continued in their wickedness and Isaiah warned of the impending destruction upon Judah by the Assyrians.
This is written both for our comfort and as a warning of the results of continued wickedness.
