In Isaiah 27 , in verses 1-6 talks about Ephraim which is compared to a withered flower. The Lord will act against Ephraim (2) but Yahweh Tsebaoth will be like a glorious crown for his few remaining people (5). In verses 6-29, the Lord talks to his people. He is against the priests and prophets who stagger from too much wine (7). They question the Lord: "To whom will they make the message understood?" (9). The Lord will answer by a strange language:
11 Yahweh will speak to these people.
He will mock them by speaking in a foreign language.
Isaiah must be refering to the Babylon captivity because Israel/Judah didn't rest in the promised land (12).
Isaiah talks about Jesus in:
16 This is what Adonay Yahweh says:
I am going to lay a rock in Zion,
a rock that has been tested,
a precious cornerstone,
a solid foundation.
Whoever believes in him will not worry.
The Lord is against the agreement between Judah and Egypt (inferred):
18 Your treaty with death will be wiped away.
Your agreement with the grave will not stand.
When the overwhelming disaster passes by,
you will be trampled by it.
