The visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of Amoz,H531 whichH834 he sawH2372 concerningH5921 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in the daysH3117 of Uzziah,H5818 Jotham,H3147 Ahaz,H271 and Hezekiah,H2396 kingsH4428 of Judah.H3063
2
Hear,H8085 O heavens,H8064 and give ear,H238 O earth:H776 for the LORDH3068 has spoken,H1696 I have nourishedH1431 and broughtH7311 up children,H1121 and they have rebelledH6586 against me.
3
The oxH7794 knowsH3045 his owner,H7069 and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 crib:H18 but IsraelH3478 does not know,H3045 my peopleH5971 does not consider.H995
4
AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nation,H1471 a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquity,H5771 a seedH2233 of evildoers,H7489 childrenH1121 that are corrupters:H7843 they have forsakenH5800 the LORD,H3068 they have provokedH5006 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 to anger,H5006 they are goneH2114 away backward.H268
5
WhyH5921 H4100 should you be strickenH5221 any more?H5750 you will revoltH5627 more and more: the wholeH3605 headH7218 is sick,H2483 and the wholeH3605 heartH3824 faint.H1742
6
From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even to the headH7218 there is noH369 soundnessH4974 in it; but wounds,H6482 and bruises,H2250 and putrefyingH2961 sores:H4347 they have not been closed,H2115 neitherH3808 boundH2280 up, neitherH3808 mollifiedH7401 with ointment.H8081
7
Your countryH776 is desolate,H8077 your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fire:H784 your land,H127 strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presence,H5048 and it is desolate,H8077 as overthrownH4114 by strangers.H2114
8
And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a cottageH5521 in a vineyard,H3754 as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbers,H4750 as a besiegedH5341 city.H5892
9
ExceptH3884 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498 to us a veryH4592 smallH4592 remnant,H8300 we should have beenH1961 as Sodom,H5467 and we should have been likeH1819 to Gomorrah.H6017
10
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORD,H3068 you rulersH7101 of Sodom;H5467 give earH238 to the lawH8451 of our God,H430 you peopleH5971 of Gomorrah.H6017
11
To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 to me? saidH559 the LORD:H3068 I am fullH7646 of the burntH5930 offerings of rams,H352 and the fatH2459 of fedH4806 beasts;H4806 and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocks,H6499 or of lambs,H3532 or of he goats.H6260
12
WhenH3588 you comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, whoH4310 has requiredH1245 thisH2063 at your hand,H3027 to treadH7429 my courts?H2691
13
BringH935 noH3808 more vainH7723 oblations;H4503 incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 to me; the newH2320 moonsH2320 and sabbaths,H7676 the callingH7121 of assemblies,H4744 I cannotH3808 H3201 away with; it is iniquity,H205 even the solemnH6116 meeting.H6116
14
Your newH2320 moonsH2320 and your appointedH4150 feasts my soulH5315 hates:H8130 they are a troubleH2960 to me; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them.
15
And when you spreadH6566 forth your hands,H3709 I will hideH5956 my eyesH5869 from you: yes,H1571 whenH3588 you make manyH7235 prayers,H8605 I will not hear:H8085 your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of blood.H1818
16
WashH7364 you, make you clean;H2135 putH5493 awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 my eyes;H5869 ceaseH2308 to do evil;H7489
17
LearnH3925 to do well;H3190 seekH1875 judgment,H4941 relieveH833 the oppressed,H2541 judgeH8199 the fatherless,H3490 pleadH7378 for the widow.H490
18
ComeH3212 now,H4994 and let us reasonH3198 together, saidH559 the LORD:H3068 thoughH518 your sinsH2399 be as scarlet,H8144 they shall be as whiteH3835 as snow;H7950 thoughH518 they be redH119 likeH1819 crimson,H8438 they shall be as wool.H6785
19
IfH518 you be willingH14 and obedient,H8085 you shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the land:H776
20
But if you refuseH3985 and rebel,H4784 you shall be devouredH398 with the sword:H2719 for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696 it.
21
HowH349 is the faithfulH539 cityH7151 becomeH1961 an harlot!H2181 it was fullH4392 of judgment;H4941 righteousnessH6664 lodgedH3885 in it; but nowH6258 murderers.H7523
22
Your silverH3701 is becomeH1961 dross,H5509 your wineH5435 mixedH4107 with water:H4325
23
Your princesH8269 are rebellious,H5637 and companionsH2270 of thieves:H1590 everyH3605 one lovesH157 gifts,H7810 and followsH7291 after rewards:H8021 they judgeH8199 not the fatherless,H3490 neitherH3808 does the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 to them.
24
ThereforeH3651 saidH5002 the LORD,H113 the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 the mightyH46 One of Israel,H3478 Ah,H1945 I will easeH5162 me of my adversaries,H6862 and avengeH5358 me of my enemies:H341
25
And I will turnH7725 my handH3027 on you, and purelyH1252 purgeH6884 away your dross,H5509 and takeH5493 awayH5493 allH3605 your tin:H913
26
And I will restoreH7725 your judgesH8199 as at the first,H7223 and your counsellorsH3289 as at the beginning:H8462 afterwardH310 H3651 you shall be called,H7121 The cityH5892 of righteousness,H6664 the faithfulH539 city.H7151
27
ZionH6726 shall be redeemedH6299 with judgment,H4941 and her convertsH7725 with righteousness.H6666
28
And the destructionH7667 of the transgressorsH6586 and of the sinnersH2400 shall be together,H3162 and they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 shall be consumed.H3615
29
For they shall be ashamedH954 of the oaksH352 whichH834 you have desired,H2530 and you shall be confoundedH2659 for the gardensH1593 that you have chosen.H977
30
For you shall be as an oakH424 whose leafH5929 fades,H5034 and as a gardenH1593 that has noH369 water.H4325
31
And the strongH2634 shall be as wick,H5296 and the makerH6467 of it as a spark,H5213 and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197 together,H3162 and noneH369 shall quenchH3518 them.
