1THE VISION [seen by spiritual perception] of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah [the kingdom] and Jerusalem [its capital] in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.H2377H3470H1121H531H2372H3063H3389H3117H5818H3147H271H3169H4428H3063 2Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the Lord has spoken: I have nourished and brought up sons {and} have made them great and exalted, but they have rebelled against Me {and} broken away from Me.H8085H8064H238H776H3068H1696H1431H7311H1121H6586 3The ox [instinctively] knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib, but Israel does not know {or} recognize Me [as Lord], My people do not consider {or} understand.H7794H3045H7069H2543H1167H18H3478H3045H5971H995 4Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised {and} shown contempt {and} provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they have become utterly estranged (alienated).H1945H2398H1471H5971H3515H5771H2233H7489H1121H7843H5800H853H3068H5006H853H6918H3478H5006H2114H268 5Why should you be stricken {and} punished any more [since it brings no correction]? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint (feeble, sick, and nauseated).H5221H5627H3254H7218H2483H3824H1742 6From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness {or} health in [the nation's body]--but wounds and bruises and fresh {and} bleeding stripes; they have not been pressed out {and} closed up or bound up or softened with oil. [No one has troubled to seek a remedy.]H3709H7272H7218H4974H6482H2250H2961H4347H2115H2280H7401H8081 7[Because of your detestable disobedience] your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; your land--strangers devour it in your very presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by aliens.H776H8077H5892H8313H784H127H2114H398H8077H4114H2114 8And the Daughter of Zion [Jerusalem] is left like a [deserted] booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, like a besieged city [spared, but in the midst of desolation].H1323H6726H3498H5521H3754H4412H4750H5341H5892 9Except the Lord of hosts had left us a very small remnant [of survivors], we should have been like Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah.H3884H3068H6635H3498H4592H8300H1961H5467H1819H6017 10Hear [O Jerusalem] the word of the Lord, you rulers {or} judges of [another] Sodom! Give ear to the law {and} the teaching of our God, you people of [another] Gomorrah!H8085H1697H3068H7101H5467H238H8451H430H5971H6017 11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me [unless they are the offering of the heart]? says the Lord. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts [without obedience]; and I do not delight in the blood of bulls or of lambs or of he-goats [without righteousness].H4100H7230H2077H559H3068H7646H5930H352H2459H4806H2654H1818H6499H3532H6260 12When you come to appear before Me, who requires of you that your [unholy feet] trample My courts?H935H7200H6440H1245H3027H7429H2691 13Bring no more offerings of vanity (emptiness, falsity, vainglory, and futility); [your hollow offering of] incense is an abomination to Me; the New Moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure--[it is] iniquity {and} profanation, even the solemn meeting.H935H3254H7723H4503H7004H8441H2320H7676H7121H4744H3201H205H6116 14Your New Moon festivals and your [hypocritical] appointed feasts My soul hates. They are an oppressive burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.H2320H4150H5315H8130H2960H3811H5375 15And when you spread forth your hands [in prayer, imploring help], I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood!H6566H3709H5956H5869H7235H8605H8085H3027H4390H1818 16Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,H7364H2135H5493H7455H4611H5048H5869H2308H7489 17Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, {and} correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.H3925H3190H1875H4941H833H2541H8199H3490H7378H490 18Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.H3212H3198H559H3068H2399H8144H3835H7950H119H8438H6785 19If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;H14H8085H398H2898H776 20But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.H3985H4784H398H2719H6310H3068H1696 21How the faithful city has become an [idolatrous] harlot, she who was full of justice! Uprightness {and} right standing with God [once] lodged in her--but now murderers.H539H7151H2181H4392H4941H6664H3885H7523 22Your silver has become dross, your wine is mixed with water.H3701H5509H5435H4107H4325 23Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after compensation {and} rewards. They judge not for the fatherless {nor} defend them, neither does the cause of the widow come to them [for they delay or turn a deaf ear].H8269H5637H2270H1590H157H7810H7291H8021H8199H3490H7379H490H935 24Therefore says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will appease Myself on My adversaries and avenge Myself on My enemies.H5002H113H3068H6635H46H3478H1945H5162H6862H5358H341 25And I will bring My hand again upon you and thoroughly purge away your dross [as with lye] and take away all your tin {or} alloy.H7725H3027H1253H6884H5509H5493H913 26And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; afterward you shall be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.H7725H8199H7223H3289H8462H310H7121H5892H6664H539H7151 27Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her [returned] converts with righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).H6726H6299H4941H7725H6666 28But the crushing {and} destruction of rebels and sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.H7667H6586H2400H3162H5800H3068H3615 29For you will be ashamed [of the folly and degradation] of the oak {or} terebinth trees in which you found [idolatrous] pleasure, and you will blush with shame for the [idolatrous worship which you practice in the passion-inflaming] gardens which you have chosen.H954H352H2530H2659H1593H977 30For you shall be like an oak {or} terebinth whose leaf withers, and like a garden that has no water.H424H5929H5034H1593H4325 31And the strong shall become like tow {and} become tinder, and his work like a spark, and they shall both burn together, with none to quench them.H2634H5296H6467H5213H8147H1197H3162H3518
