The last sentence in this section is quoted below. The clause following "form," does not make grammatic sense. Sorry, I cannot fix it, because I cannot guess at the author's intended meaning.
"In the time of Jesus the book existed in its present form, with many prophecies in the disputed portions are quoted in the New Testament as the words of Isaiah."
@Achar Sva: I added the {{Table to prose}} in January, you removed it with the reason given being that it needs a discussion to be put on the article (it does not), I added the discussion to please you and reverted your change on removing the template. –Treetoes023 (talk)07:15, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Achar Sva: Ehhhhhhhhh, I don't really have the time or skill to convert this article to prose. That's why I added the template, so another user would see it and take action. It will probably be a while before anyone does something, I might get around to it on my own in a few months though. –Treetoes023 (talk)07:05, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, having never read this article before, I think tabular presentation for the subheadings makes a lot of sense, and prosifying the article would encumber it with bloat.Folly Mox (talk)11:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
