Isaiah 1:1
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:2 |
|
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for
Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled
against me. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:3 |
|
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's
crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:4 |
|
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity,
a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly! they have forsaken Jehovah,
they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged and gone backward.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:5 |
|
Why will ye be still stricken, that ye revolt
more and more? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:6 |
|
From the sole of the foot even unto the head
there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes: they
have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:7 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:8 |
|
And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth
in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:9 |
|
Except Jehovah of hosts had left unto us a very
small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:10 |
|
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom;
give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:11 |
|
What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
saith Jehovah: I have had enough 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.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:12 |
|
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required
this at your hand, to trample my courts? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:13 |
|
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an
abomination unto me; new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies,- I cannot
away with iniquity and the solemn meeting. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:14 |
|
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my
soul hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:15 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:16 |
|
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil
of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:17 |
|
learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the
oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:18 |
|
Come now, and let us reason together, saith
Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:19 |
|
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat
the good of the land: |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:20 |
|
but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured
with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 1:21 |
|
How is the faithful city become a harlot! she
that was full of justice! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:22 |
|
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with
water. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:23 |
|
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of
thieves; every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards: they judge not
the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:24 |
|
Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts,
the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me
of mine enemies; |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:25 |
|
and I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly
purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin; |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:26 |
|
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, a faithful town. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:27 |
|
Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her
converts with righteousness. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:28 |
|
But the destruction of transgressors and sinners
shall be together, and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:29 |
|
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which
ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
|
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:30 |
|
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth,
and as a garden that hath no water. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 1:31 |
|
And the strong shall be as tow, and his work
as a spark; and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them. |
