Isaiah ( /aɪˈzeɪ.ə/ or /aɪˈzaɪ.ə/; Hebrew: יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, Yeshayahu Yəšạʻyā́hû ; Greek: Ἠσαΐας, Ēsaïās ; Arabic: شعيا Shaiya; "Yahu is salvation") was a prophet who lived in the 8th-century BC Kingdom of Judah. Jews and Christians consider the Book of Isaiah a part of their Biblical canon; he is the first listed (although not the earliest) of the neviim akharonim, the latter prophets.
