Why did Jesus call the words of Isaiah “great” in 3 Nephi 23:1?

Jesus’ saying, “Ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah” (Isaiah 23:1), he clarifies when he adds, “For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that he must speak also to the Gentiles. And all things that he spake have been and shall be, even according to the words which he spake” (3 Nephi 23:2–3). In effect, his words are “great” because they cover God’s entire plan of salvation, past and future.
