Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Who is the childless in Isaiah 54:1?
Why should the place of the tent and the foundations be expanded (Isaiah 54:2)?
Who is it that should not be fearful and should not be ashamed (Isaiah 54:4)?
What is the poetic imagery which the prophet utilizes in terms of the relationship between Divinity and Israel?
In Isaiah 54:9, there is a comparison with the “waters of Noah”. What is the pertinence to the context of this chapter?
What promise as to the concern of Divinity is reflected in Isaiah 54:10?
According to Isaiah 54:11, what is the destiny for the “storm tossed ship” (of Israel)?
In Isaiah 54:14, the emphasis on the rebuilding and redemption of Israel is dependent upon what essential action?
In Isaiah 54:17, once again there is reference to the Servant but, in this case it is plural – “Servants of God.” To whom would it seem to refer, given the context of the preceding verse?
