The book of Isaiah is broken into two chunks. Chapters 1 - 39 are a long message about God’s judgment onIsrael for their disobedience. In chapters 40 – 66, there is a sudden turn. The message of judgment turned intoa message of comfort, hope and salvation. Though they are going into exile, God will bring them out and ultimately, God will send His Servant to deliver them.
The Servant will establish justice (Isaiah 42). The whole world would hear the message of salvation. This Servant will experience humiliation, rejection and suffering. (Isaiah 49) This passage talks about that suffering as well as the reason for the suffering. The suffering of God’s servant for the sins of His people is the defining act through which God would save the world.
