Overview of Isaiah 1-33
The Book of Isaiah tells the story of God sending a man named Isaiah to remind God's people to follow God. Isaiah is sometimes called a major prophet because of the length of the book. Isaiah often uses the word servant for the name of God's people.

Bible Readings
The Peaceable Kingdom (Isaiah 11:6-9) Reading
A long time ago, God sent a message to the people. The message said that a little child would come and teach us how to live in peace.
When there is peace, a wolf can sit with a lamb. When there is peace, a cow and a lion can share their food without fighting. When there is peace, young bears and young cows can be friends and play together.

Tips for Adults
This book has three parts. Chapters 1-39 talk about serious problems with worship and government - how rich people were mistreating poor people. Chapters 40-55 address people who lived about two hundred years after the prophet Isaiah. They promise that God will bring God's people back to their homeland in Israel. Chapters 56-66 encourage and warn a generation who have returned to Israel.

Content for Adults
The story takes place before Israel had kings. Israel's tribes were facing a famine (that means there was no food), so Naomi, her husband, and their two sons moved to a new place called Moab. While there, Naomi's sons got married. Eventually, Naomi's husband and her sons died. Naomi and one of her daughters-in-law, Ruth, moved back to Israel together. Ruth promised to stay with Naomi no matter what.
