In this Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible episode, we read the complete Song of Solomon, followed by Isaiah chapters 1 through 3, from the King James Version.

The Song of Solomon is a poetic book of love, longing, beauty, delight, and devotion. Its rich garden imagery, tender expressions, and lyrical language have long been read as both a celebration of faithful love and, by many Christian readers, a reflection of the deeper love between the Lord and His people.

Then we begin the book of Isaiah, where the tone shifts from song to prophecy. Isaiah opens with a solemn call to Judah and Jerusalem, exposing sin, injustice, pride, and empty religion, while also offering one of Scripture’s most gracious invitations: “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD.”

Settle in with gentle narration, soothing music, and peaceful visuals as we move from the beauty of the Song of Solomon into the opening chapters of Isaiah in this One-Year Bible journey.
