The vision <H2377> of Isaiah <H3470> the son <H1121> of Amoz, <H0531> which he saw <H2372> concerning Judah <H3063> and Jerusalem <H3389> in the days <H3117> of Uzziah, <H5818> Jotham, <H3147> Ahaz, <H0271> [and] Hezekiah, <H3169> kings <H4428> of Judah. <H3063>
2
Hear, <H8085> O heavens, <H8064> and give ear, <H0238> O earth: <H0776> for the LORD <H3068> hath spoken, <H1696> I have nourished <H1431> and brought up <H7311> children, <H1121> and they have rebelled <H6586> against me.
3
The ox <H7794> knoweth <H3045> his owner, <H7069> and the ass <H2543> his master's <H1167> crib: <H0018> [but] Israel <H3478> doth not know, <H3045> my people <H5971> doth not consider. <H0995>
4
Ah <H1945> sinful <H2398> nation, <H1471> a people <H5971> laden <H3515> with iniquity, <H5771> a seed <H2233> of evildoers, <H7489> children <H1121> that are corrupters: <H7843> they have forsaken <H5800> <H0853> the LORD, <H3068> they have provoked <H0853> the Holy One <H6918> of Israel <H3478> unto anger, <H5006> they are gone away <H2114> backward. <H0268>
5
Why should ye be stricken <H5221> any more? ye will revolt <H5627> more and more: <H3254> the whole head <H7218> is sick, <H2483> and the whole heart <H3824> faint. <H1742>
6
From the sole <H3709> of the foot <H7272> even unto the head <H7218> [there is] no soundness <H4974> in it; [but] wounds, <H6482> and bruises, <H2250> and putrifying <H2961> sores: <H4347> they have not been closed, <H2115> neither bound up, <H2280> neither mollified <H7401> with ointment. <H8081>
7
Your country <H0776> [is] desolate, <H8077> your cities <H5892> [are] burned <H8313> with fire: <H0784> your land, <H0127> strangers <H2114> devour <H0398> it in your presence, and [it is] desolate, <H8077> as overthrown <H4114> by strangers. <H2114>
8
And the daughter <H1323> of Zion <H6726> is left <H3498> as a cottage <H5521> in a vineyard, <H3754> as a lodge <H4412> in a garden of cucumbers, <H4750> as a besieged <H5341> city. <H5892>
9
Except <H3884> the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> had left <H3498> unto us a very small <H4592> remnant, <H8300> we should have been <H1961> as Sodom, <H5467> [and] we should have been like <H1819> unto Gomorrah. <H6017>
10
Hear <H8085> the word <H1697> of the LORD, <H3068> ye rulers <H7101> of Sodom; <H5467> give ear <H0238> unto the law <H8451> of our God, <H0430> ye people <H5971> of Gomorrah. <H6017>
11
To what purpose <H4100> [is] the multitude <H7230> of your sacrifices <H2077> unto me? saith <H0559> the LORD: <H3068> I am full <H7646> of the burnt offerings <H5930> of rams, <H0352> and the fat <H2459> of fed beasts; <H4806> and I delight <H2654> not in the blood <H1818> of bullocks, <H6499> or of lambs, <H3532> or of he goats. <H6260>
12
When ye come <H0935> to appear <H7200> before <H6440> me, who hath required <H1245> this at your hand, <H3027> to tread <H7429> my courts? <H2691>
13
Bring <H0935> no more <H3254> vain <H7723> oblations; <H4503> incense <H7004> is an abomination <H8441> unto me; the new moons <H2320> and sabbaths, <H7676> the calling <H7121> of assemblies, <H4744> I cannot away with; <H3201> [it is] iniquity, <H0205> even the solemn meeting. <H6116>
14
Your new moons <H2320> and your appointed feasts <H4150> my soul <H5315> hateth: <H8130> they are a trouble <H2960> unto me; I am weary <H3811> to bear <H5375> [them].
15
And when ye spread forth <H6566> your hands, <H3709> I will hide <H5956> mine eyes <H5869> from you: yea, when ye make many <H7235> prayers, <H8605> I will not hear: <H8085> your hands <H3027> are full <H4390> of blood. <H1818>
16
Wash <H7364> you, make you clean; <H2135> put away <H5493> the evil <H7455> of your doings <H4611> from before <H5048> mine eyes; <H5869> cease <H2308> to do evil; <H7489>
17
Learn <H3925> to do well; <H3190> seek <H1875> judgment, <H4941> relieve <H0833> the oppressed, <H2541> judge <H8199> the fatherless, <H3490> plead <H7378> for the widow. <H0490>
18
Come <H3212> now, and let us reason together, <H3198> saith <H0559> the LORD: <H3068> though your sins <H2399> be as scarlet, <H8144> they shall be as white <H3835> as snow; <H7950> though they be red <H0119> like crimson, <H8438> they shall be as wool. <H6785>
19
If ye be willing <H0014> and obedient, <H8085> ye shall eat <H0398> the good <H2898> of the land: <H0776>
20
But if ye refuse <H3985> and rebel, <H4784> ye shall be devoured <H0398> with the sword: <H2719> for the mouth <H6310> of the LORD <H3068> hath spoken <H1696> [it].
21
How is the faithful <H0539> city <H7151> become an harlot! <H2181> it was full <H4392> of judgment; <H4941> righteousness <H6664> lodged <H3885> in it; but now murderers. <H7523>
22
Thy silver <H3701> is become dross, <H5509> thy wine <H5435> mixed <H4107> with water: <H4325>
23
Thy princes <H8269> [are] rebellious, <H5637> and companions <H2270> of thieves: <H1590> every one loveth <H0157> gifts, <H7810> and followeth <H7291> after rewards: <H8021> they judge <H8199> not the fatherless, <H3490> neither doth the cause <H7379> of the widow <H0490> come <H0935> unto them.
24
Therefore saith <H5002> the Lord, <H0113> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> the mighty <H0046> One of Israel, <H3478> Ah, <H1945> I will ease <H5162> me of mine adversaries, <H6862> and avenge <H5358> me of mine enemies: <H0341>
25
And I will turn <H7725> my hand <H3027> upon thee, and purely <H1253> purge away <H6884> thy dross, <H5509> and take away <H5493> all thy tin: <H0913>
26
And I will restore <H7725> thy judges <H8199> as at the first, <H7223> and thy counsellors <H3289> as at the beginning: <H8462> afterward <H0310> thou shalt be called, <H7121> The city <H5892> of righteousness, <H6664> the faithful <H0539> city. <H7151>
27
Zion <H6726> shall be redeemed <H6299> with judgment, <H4941> and her converts <H7725> with righteousness. <H6666>
28
And the destruction <H7667> of the transgressors <H6586> and of the sinners <H2400> [shall be] together, <H3162> and they that forsake <H5800> the LORD <H3068> shall be consumed. <H3615>
29
For they shall be ashamed <H0954> of the oaks <H0352> which ye have desired, <H2530> and ye shall be confounded <H2659> for the gardens <H1593> that ye have chosen. <H0977>
30
For ye shall be as an oak <H0424> whose leaf <H5929> fadeth, <H5034> and as a garden <H1593> that hath no water. <H4325>
31
And the strong <H2634> shall be as tow, <H5296> and the maker <H6467> of it as a spark, <H5213> and they shall both <H8147> burn <H1197> together, <H3162> and none shall quench <H3518> [them].
