1This book contains the messages about Judah and Jerusalem which God revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz during the time when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.H2377H3470H1121H531H2372H3063H3389H3117H5818H3147H271H3169H4428H3063 H8064H238H776H3068H1696H1431H7311H1121H6586 3Cattle know who owns them, and donkeys know where their master feeds them. But that is more than my people Israel know. They don't understand at all."H7794H3045H7069H2543H1167H18H3478H3045H5971H995 4You are doomed, you sinful nation, you corrupt and evil people! Your sins drag you down! You have rejected the LORD, the holy God of Israel, and have turned your backs on him.H1945H2398H1471H5971H3515H5771H2233H7489H1121H7843H5800H853H3068H5006H853H6918H3478H5006H2114H268 5Why do you keep on rebelling? Do you want to be punished even more? Israel, your head is already covered with wounds, and your heart and mind are sick.H5221H5627H3254H7218H2483H3824H1742 6From head to foot there is not a healthy spot on your body. You are covered with bruises and sores and open wounds. Your wounds have not been cleaned or bandaged. No medicine has been put on them.H3709H7272H7218H4974H6482H2250H2961H4347H2115H2280H7401H8081 7Your country has been devastated, and your cities have been burned to the ground. While you look on, foreigners take over your land and bring everything to ruin.H776H8077H5892H8313H784H127H2114H398H8077H4114H2114 8Jerusalem alone is left, a city under siege - as defenseless as a guard's hut in a vineyard or a shed in a cucumber field.H1323H6726H3498H5521H3754H4412H4750H5341H5892 9If the LORD Almighty had not let some of the people survive, Jerusalem would have been totally destroyed, just as Sodom and Gomorrah were.H3884H3068H6635H3498H4592H8300H1961H5467H1819H6017 10Jerusalem, your rulers and your people are like those of Sodom and Gomorrah. Listen to what the LORD is saying to you. Pay attention to what our God is teaching you.H8085H1697H3068H7101H5467H238H8451H430H5971H6017 11He says, "Do you think I want all these sacrifices you keep offering to me? I have had more than enough of the sheep you burn as sacrifices and of the fat of your fine animals. I am tired of the blood of bulls and sheep and goats.H4100H7230H2077H559H3068H7646H5930H352H2459H4806H2654H1818H6499H3532H6260 12Who asked you to bring me all this when you come to worship me? Who asked you to do all this tramping around in my Temple?H935H7200H6440H1245H3027H7429H2691 13It's useless to bring your offerings. I am disgusted with the smell of the incense you burn. I cannot stand your New Moon Festivals, your Sabbaths, and your religious gatherings; they are all corrupted by your sins.H935H3254H7723H4503H7004H8441H2320H7676H7121H4744H3201H205H6116 14I hate your New Moon Festivals and holy days; they are a burden that I am tired of bearing.H2320H4150H5315H8130H2960H3811H5375 15"When you lift your hands in prayer, I will not look at you. No matter how much you pray, I will not listen, for your hands are covered with blood.H6566H3709H5956H5869H7235H8605H8085H3027H4390H1818 16Wash yourselves clean. Stop all this evil that I see you doing. Yes, stop doing evilH7364H2135H5493H7455H4611H5048H5869H2308H7489 17and learn to do right. See that justice is done - help those who are oppressed, give orphans their rights, and defend widows."H3925H3190H1875H4941H833H2541H8199H3490H7378H490 18The LORD says, "Now, let's settle the matter. You are stained red with sin, but I will wash you as clean as snow. Although your stains are deep red, you will be as white as wool.H3212H3198H559H3068H2399H8144H3835H7950H119H8438H6785 19If you will only obey me, you will eat the good things the land produces.H14H8085H398H2898H776 20But if you defy me, you are doomed to die. I, the LORD, have spoken."H3985H4784H398H2719H6310H3068H1696 H7151H2181H4392H4941H6664H3885H7523 22Jerusalem, you were once like silver, but now you are worthless; you were like good wine, but now you are only water.H3701H5509H5435H4107H4325 23Your leaders are rebels and friends of thieves; they are always accepting gifts and bribes. They never defend orphans in court or listen when widows present their case.H8269H5637H2270H1590H157H7810H7291H8021H8199H3490H7379H490H935 24So now, listen to what the LORD Almighty, Israel's powerful God, is saying: "I will take revenge on you, my enemies, and you will cause me no more trouble.H5002H113H3068H6635H46H3478H1945H5162H6862H5358H341 25I will take action against you. I will purify you the way metal is refined, and will remove all your impurity.H7725H3027H1253H6884H5509H5493H913 26I will give you rulers and advisers like those you had long ago. Then Jerusalem will be called the righteous, faithful city."H7725H8199H7223H3289H8462H310H7121H5892H6664H539H7151 27Because the LORD is righteous, he will save Jerusalem and everyone there who repents.H6726H6299H4941H7725H6666 28But he will crush everyone who sins and rebels against him; he will kill everyone who forsakes him.H7667H6586H2400H3162H5800H3068H3615 29You will be sorry that you ever worshiped trees and planted sacred gardens.H954H352H2530H2659H1593H977 30You will wither like a dying oak, like a garden that no one waters.H424H5929H5034H1593H4325 31Just as straw is set on fire by a spark, so powerful people will be destroyed by their own evil deeds, and no one will be able to stop the destruction.H2634H5296H6467H5213H8147H1197H3162H3518
