Exegesis
The proper noun yeshayahu {יְשַׁעְיָהוּ | yəšaʿyāhû} ‘Isaiah’ serves as the subject, further specified by a construct chain with the noun ben {בֶּן | ben} ‘son’ and the proper noun amotz {אָמֹוץ | ʾāmōṣ} ‘Amoz’, indicating patrilineal descent. The fronting of massa and bavel places emphasis on the prophetic declaration and its object before identifying the prophet.
In context — Isaiah 13:1
The oracle concerning Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw.
