Zion’s Taunt (37:22) and Tirade (49:14) in Isaiah

Key Points

Zion's taunting act and tirade reveal key identity aspects, emphasizing social dynamics within Hebrew texts.
The critical examination of Isa 37:22 and 49:14 showcases the significance of honor-instilling mechanisms.
This research applies social identity perspectives to deepen understanding of identity negotiation in prophetic literature.
Identifying protesting voices in these passages illuminates their importance for the meaning-making process in the Hebrew Bible.

Abstract

Abstract The near ubiquitousness of Zion in the Hebrew Bible has been well noted. The same is true in the case of the book of Isaiah. As such, Zion’s prospect across this prophetic book continues to elicit scholarly interest. The present work focuses on two Zion occurrences that portray (i) her taunting act (Isa 37:22) and (ii) her words of tirade (49:14). A re-reading of these two portrayals, particularly from Social Identity sensibilities, help highlight some identity-negotiating aspects, honor-instilling mechanism, and the value of protesting voices for the meaning-making process.
