+//d) Conclusion//. [...] Even though this commentary has been completed, it still remains for the scholarly community to inform the reader about the great variety of forms that are used in both the authentic and secondary portions of the book of Isaiah and — especially then — to characterize, on the basis of such, the rich diversity of ways witness is given to the faith. But beyond that, it will be necessary to demonstrate that all the forms are merely vessels to deliver the words that each had to deliver and that the many different types of utterances still have their own hidden unity in the way they give witness to the seriousnes of judgment and to the faithfulness of the Holy One of Israel.
