Nighthawk,
I have just begun a deeper study of Isaiah, and I am so excited about it. Even more excited to find your post! I am reading Isaiah for Dummies by John Bytheway; it has been very helpful.
Thank you for posting this, hopefully I will have more to add in a few days. I am just beginning. I have one question: Where is this "new translation" of Isaiah that you mentioned in your first post? Thank you.

The "new translation" was done by Avraham Gileadi. It is contained in a couple of his books.
However, they are pretty much out of print.

There is a list of his books at this site. You can get some of them from Amazon.com.
Ah, I just located the website. https://www.isaiahinstitute.com/isaiahinstitute/Default.aspx
I love his work.
