The vision{H2377} of Isaiah{H3470} the son{H1121} of Amoz,{H531} which he saw{H2372} concerning Judah{H3063} and Jerusalem,{H3389} in the days{H3117} of Uzziah,{H5818} Jotham,{H3147} Ahaz,{H271} and Hezekiah,{H3169} kings{H4428} of Judah.{H3063}

Hear,{H8085} O heavens,{H8064} and give ear,{H238} O earth;{H776} for Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken:{H1696} I have nourished{H1431} and brought up{H7311} children,{H1121} and they have rebelled{H6586} against me.

The ox{H7794} knoweth{H3045} his owner,{H7069} and the ass{H2543} his master's{H1167} crib;{H18} [but] Israel{H3478} doth not know,{H3045} my people{H5971} doth not consider.{H995}

Ah{H1945} sinful{H2398} nation,{H1471} a people{H5971} laden{H3515} with iniquity,{H5771} a seed{H2233} of evil-doers,{H7489} children{H1121} that deal corruptly!{H7843} they have forsaken{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} they have despised{H5006} the Holy One{H6918} of Israel,{H3478} they are estranged{H2114} [and gone] backward.{H268}

Why will ye be still stricken,{H5221} that ye revolt{H5627} more and more?{H3254} the whole head{H7218} is sick,{H2483} and the whole heart{H3824} faint.{H2483}

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 fresh{H2961} stripes:{H4347} they have not been closed,{H2115} neither bound up,{H2280} neither mollified{H7401} with oil.{H8081}

Your country{H776} is desolate;{H8077} your cities{H5892} are burned{H8313} with fire;{H784} your land,{H127} strangers{H2114} devour{H398} it in your presence, and it is desolate,{H8077} as overthrown{H4114} by strangers.{H2114}

And the daughter{H1323} of Zion{H6726} is left{H3498} as a booth{H5521} in a vineyard,{H3754} as a lodge{H4412} in a garden of cucumbers,{H4750} as a besieged{H5341} city.{H5892}

Except{H3884} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} had left{H3498} unto us a very small{H4592} remnant,{H8300} we should have been{H1961} as Sodom,{H5467} we should have been like{H1819} unto Gomorrah.{H6017}

Hear{H8085} the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} ye rulers{H7101} of Sodom;{H5467} give ear{H238} unto the law{H8451} of our God,{H430} ye people{H5971} of Gomorrah.{H6017}

What{H4100} unto me is the multitude{H7230} of your sacrifices?{H2077} saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} I have had enough{H7646} of the burnt-offerings{H5930} of rams,{H352} 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}

When ye come{H935} to appear{H7200} before{H6440} me, who hath required{H1245} this at your hand,{H3027} to trample{H7429} my courts?{H2691}

Bring{H935} no more{H3254} vain{H7723} oblations;{H4503} incense{H7004} is an abomination{H8441} unto me; new moon{H2320} and sabbath,{H7676} the calling{H7121} of assemblies,—{H4744} I cannot away with{H3201} iniquity{H205} and the solemn meeting.{H6116}

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} of bearing{H5375} them.

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}

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}

learn{H3925} to do well;{H3190} seek{H1875} justice,{H4941} relieve{H833} the oppressed,{H2541} judge{H8199} the fatherless,{H3490} plead{H7378} for the widow.{H490}

Come now,{H3212} and let us reason together,{H3198} saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} though your sins{H2399} be as scarlet,{H8144} they shall be as white{H3835} as snow;{H7950} though they be red{H119} like crimson,{H8438} they shall be as wool.{H6785}

If ye be willing{H14} and obedient,{H8085} ye shall eat{H398} the good{H2898} of the land:{H776}

but if ye refuse{H3985} and rebel,{H4784} ye shall be devoured{H398} with the sword;{H2719} for the mouth{H6310} of Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken{H1696} it.

How is the faithful{H539} city{H7151} become a harlot!{H2181} she that was full{H4392} of justice!{H4941} righteousness{H6664} lodged{H3885} in her, but now murderers.{H7523}

Thy silver{H3701} is become dross,{H5509} thy wine{H5435} mixed{H4107} with water.{H4325}

Thy princes{H8269} are rebellious,{H5637} and companions{H2270} of thieves;{H1590} every one loveth{H157} bribes,{H7810} and followeth{H7291} after rewards:{H8021} they judge{H8199} not the fatherless,{H3490} neither doth the cause{H7379} of the widow{H490} come{H935} unto them.

Therefore saith{H5002} the Lord,{H113} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the Mighty One{H46} of Israel,{H3478} Ah,{H1945} I will ease{H5162} me of mine adversaries,{H6862} and avenge{H5358} me of mine enemies;{H341}

and I will turn{H7725} my hand{H3027} upon thee, and thoroughly{H1253} purge away{H6884} thy dross,{H5509} and will take away{H5493} all thy tin;{H913}

and I will restore{H7725} thy judges{H8199} as at the first,{H7223} and thy counsellors{H3289} as at the beginning:{H8462} afterward{H310} thou shalt be called{H7121} The city{H5892} of righteousness,{H6664} a faithful{H539} town.{H7151}

Zion{H6726} shall be redeemed{H6299} with justice,{H4941} and her converts{H7725} with righteousness.{H6666}

But the destruction{H7667} of transgressors{H6586} and sinners{H2400} shall be together,{H3162} and they that forsake{H5800} Jehovah{H3068} shall be consumed.{H3615}

For they shall be ashamed{H954} of the oaks{H352} which ye have desired,{H2530} and ye shall be confounded{H2659} for the gardens{H1593} that ye have chosen.{H977}

For ye shall be as an oak{H424} whose leaf{H5929} fadeth,{H5034} and as a garden{H1593} that hath no water.{H4325}

And the strong{H2634} shall be as tow,{H5296} and his work{H6467} as a spark;{H5213} and they shall both{H8147} burn{H1197} together,{H3162} and none shall quench{H3518} them.
