New International Version (1984) Help
1The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.H2377H3470H1121H531H2372H3063H3389H3117H5818H3147H271H3169H4428H3063 2Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.H8085H8064H238H776H3068H1696H1431H7311H1121H6586 3The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand."H7794H3045H7069H2543H1167H18H3478H3045H5971H995 4Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.H1945H2398H1471H5971H3515H5771H2233H7489H1121H7843H5800H853H3068H5006H853H6918H3478H5006H2114H268 5Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted.H5221H5627H3254H7218H2483H3824H1742 6From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness--only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil.H3709H7272H7218H4974H6482H2250H2961H4347H2115H2280H7401H8081 7Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.H776H8077H5892H8313H784H127H2114H398H8077H4114H2114 8The Daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a city under siege.H1323H6726H3498H5521H3754H4412H4750H5341H5892 9Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.H3884H3068H6635H3498H4592H8300H1961H5467H1819H6017 10Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!H8085H1697H3068H7101H5467H238H8451H430H5971H6017 11"The multitude of your sacrifices--what are they to me?" says the LORD. "I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.H4100H7230H2077H559H3068H7646H5930H352H2459H4806H2654H1818H6499H3532H6260 12When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts?H935H7200H6440H1245H3027H7429H2691 13Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations--I cannot bear your evil assemblies.H935H3254H7723H4503H7004H8441H2320H7676H7121H4744H3201H205H6116 14Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.H2320H4150H5315H8130H2960H3811H5375 15When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood;H6566H3709H5956H5869H7235H8605H8085H3027H4390H1818 16wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong,H7364H2135H5493H7455H4611H5048H5869H2308H7489 17learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.H3925H3190H1875H4941H833H2541H8199H3490H7378H490 18"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.H3212H3198H559H3068H2399H8144H3835H7950H119H8438H6785 19If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land;H14H8085H398H2898H776 20but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword." For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.H3985H4784H398H2719H6310H3068H1696 21See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her--but now murderers!H539H7151H2181H4392H4941H6664H3885H7523 22Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water.H3701H5509H5435H4107H4325 23Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them.H8269H5637H2270H1590H157H7810H7291H8021H8199H3490H7379H490H935 24Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: "Ah, I will get relief from my foes and avenge myself on my enemies.H5002H113H3068H6635H46H3478H1945H5162H6862H5358H341 25I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities.H7725H3027H1253H6884H5509H5493H913 26I will restore your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City."H7725H8199H7223H3289H8462H310H7121H5892H6664H539H7151 27Zion will be redeemed with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness.H6726H6299H4941H7725H6666 28But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.H7667H6586H2400H3162H5800H3068H3615 29"You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen.H954H352H2530H2659H1593H977 30You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water.H424H5929H5034H1593H4325 31The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire."H2634H5296H6467H5213H8147H1197H3162H3518
