Abstract
In this concluding chapter, the arguments of the foregoing chapters are summarized. It is admitted that the evidence is stronger for some of the passages while less for the others. It is hoped, however, that the proposed hypothesis gives the theological message of the passages concerned a sharper image when they are read together as a group with an awareness of their stylistic and ideological connections to chs 40-55. Also reflected upon is the place of the hypothesized late-exilic editorial passages in the diachronic development of the nations oracles in chs 13-23 which began as words of doom against the foreign powers in the pre-exilic period but had some of the most inclusive passages in the Hebrew Bible added to them in the post-exilic period.
