The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
|
| 2 |
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
|
| 3 |
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
|
| 4 |
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
|
| 5 |
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
|
| 6 |
From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
|
| 7 |
Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
|
| 8 |
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
|
| 9 |
Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
|
| 10 |
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
|
| 11 |
To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
|
| 12 |
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
|
| 13 |
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
|
| 14 |
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them].
|
| 15 |
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
|
| 16 |
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
|
| 17 |
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
|
| 18 |
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
|
| 19 |
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
|
| 20 |
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
|
| 21 |
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
|
| 22 |
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
|
| 23 |
Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
|
| 24 |
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
|
| 25 |
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
|
| 26 |
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
|
| 27 |
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
|
| 28 |
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
|
| 29 |
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
|
| 30 |
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
|
| 31 |
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].
