This study attempts to model in its reading of Isa 1-12 an approach to ecological hermeneutics that mediates between extremes observed in previous scholarship. Reviewing the major contributions to ecological hermeneutics applied to the biblical text (especially by the Earth Bible Project and the Exeter Project), the study identifies, on the one hand, a tendency to privilege reader-centered, ideologically-driven interpretation; and, on the other hand, a tendency to privilege historical-critical exegesis. In recognition of the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing strategies, this study offers an alternative that facilitates both close engagement with the details of the text and the involvement of the present reader's environmental concern. The former is accomplished by adopting a literary approach to the text in which the content and features of Isa 1-12 are analyzed in light of their rhetorical function. The latter is accomplished by reading the text from a particular, readerly stance-namely, that of empathy for Earth, for the non-human characters who are present in, or who are implicitly involved with, the various portrayals in Isa 1-12. The reading offered in this study thus consists in facilitating dialogue between ecological interests of the reader and the rhetorical function of the text vis-a-vis the details of the text and the implications thereof. What results is a back-and-forth exchange in which the present author gives voice to the concerns of text and reader, and furthermore engages in critical scrutiny of these concerns. In the analysis proper, the selected texts from Isa 1-12 are treated in groups according to how Earth is pictured or affected. In the first group of texts (Isa 1:2-31; 2:6-21; 5:1-7; 9:17-20), Earth is depicted as caught up in unfaithful human behavior and the consequences of that behavior. The relationship between Earth and the exercise of divine judgment against humanity features prominently in the second group (Isa 5:8-30; 7:17-5; 8:1-23). Finally, in the third group (Isa 9:17-10:4; 10:15-19; 11:1-16; 6:11-13), there are indications of abuse against Earth sanctioned or enacted by the deity. While the interests of text and reader do not always converge in the course of analysis, surprising lines of inquiry do arise. The reader empathetic toward Earth considers whether some texts disclose the reality of human transience, with non-humans thriving beyond the disaster that rids the land of civilization. Attention to rhetorical function yields recognition of the way Yhwh dispenses with Earth just as easily as he dispenses with empires in the accomplishment of his plans. Ultimately, what emerges from the reading is an Earth that appears variously as significant actor and tragic victim-all for the purpose of generating response.
