Verse 18
Nevertheless the prophet’s own name, and the names of his two sons, were signs from "Yahweh of armies" that He would do what those names signified. Judah’s enemies would descend on her soon, a remnant would return, and Yahweh would save. Even though He was presently silent, God was still on His throne.
"The Epistle to the Hebrews (ch. ii. 13) quotes these words as the distinct words of Jesus, because the spirit of Jesus was in Isaiah,-the spirit of Jesus, which in the midst of this holy family, bound together as it was only by the bands of ’the shadow,’ pointed forward to that church of the New Testament which would be bound together by the bands of the true substance." [Note: Delitzsch, 1:239.]
