I have to say that I am kind of rocking on Isaiah. I'm starting to think maybe he is not an unsolvable puzzle. Maybe Nephi wasn't so crazy to put so much of him in the BoM. Mormon must have understood him too since he edited a bunch of stuff and still put him in also.
If you read like a whole chapter at a time, you're usually like "What the heck is he talking about?" But, if you just try to read like a few verses, they can totally make sense. And they are beautiful. And powerful. And uplifting.
Like starting with verse 28 in Isaiah 40. He's like Don't you know that God doesn't get tired? Haven't you heard that he doesn't wuss out?
"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might, he increaseth strength.
They that wait and hope for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
(v29-31 with the italics my own addition based on the footnotes).
