Some of the most astounding links between the chapter structure of Isaiah and the order of the Canon are found here in Isaiah 24. My favorite copy of the Bible, a pocket sized KJV published by World Bible Publishers, lists a total of 29 cross-references from Isaiah 24 to other verses of the Bible. Six of these references - about 21% - point to the Book of Jeremiah, which is listed more than any other book in the cross-referrences. These are shown in the side box. Next in line are five self-references to other chapters of Isaiah. The remaining references are scattered amongst Ezekiel (3), Joel (3), Genesis (2), Psalms (2), Hosea (2), Malachi (2), Revelation (2), Numbers (1) and Hebrews (1).

The most striking correlation is between Isaiah 24.17 and Jeremah 48.43, where there is a word-for-word parallelism:

Isaiah 24 (vs .17f) Book 24 (Jeremiah 48.43f)
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that

he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.		 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

All the phrases highlighted in bold are found only in Isaiah 24 and its coresponding book, Jeremiah. There are many KeyLinks based on various combinations of the common words in these two passages, the most obvious being the phrase that opens the passage: ("Fear, and the pit, and the snare") [Verify] . It's as if God simply copied the verse from Isaiah 24 and copied it (with slight variations) into Book 24, Jeremiah. We have, therefore, this second order
