In Isaiah, God appears enthroned in the temple and sends Isaiah to proclaim to the people, “Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” He commands Isaiah and Shearjashub to meet Ahaz, judges Ahaz, Rezin, Lucifer, and Shebna, appoints Eliakim, and promises both judgment and refuge for Jerusalem. He protects Hezekiah from Sennacherib, answers his prayer by adding fifteen years to his life, and later declares that his wealth and sons will be carried to Babylon. He calls Jacob his servant, strengthens and redeems him, blesses Abraham, makes a covenant with Noah, and appoints Cyrus as his shepherd and anointed ruler to rebuild Jerusalem.

In Jeremiah, God ordains and sends Jeremiah as a prophet, putting his words in his mouth and promising to deliver him from his enemies. He judges Judah, Jerusalem, its kings, false prophets, and the nations, using Nebuchadnezzar as his servant while also declaring judgment against Babylon. Yet he promises to gather the scattered, restore the captives, heal the land, forgive iniquity, and establish a new covenant in which his law is written inwardly. He preserves Baruch and Ebedmelech, gives conditional warnings to Zedekiah, and promises an enduring covenant with David.
