Paintings of the nativity traditionally include an ox and an ass because of this book's line "the ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib." The hymn "Beulah Land" comes from this book's declaration that Israel's name will one day be changed to Hephzibah and Beulah. Its fortieth chapter describes how "every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low" in the process of building a straight highway to God. This book is the source of the idea that Israel should be a "light unto the nations," and its fifty-third chapter inspired the depiction of Christ as the Man of Sorrows. Its narrator begins to prophesy after an angel uses a burning coal to purify his mouth, and predicts that in the "last days," people will beat their swords into plowshares. For 10 points, name this book of the Old Testament whose prophecy of the virgin birth of Immanuel was used as proof of the divinity of Jesus.
