Isa 1:5-9 : 5 Why will you still be struck down? Why do you continue to rebel? Every head is sick, and every heart is faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, only wounds, bruises, and raw sores. They have not been tended, or bandaged, or softened with oil.
7 Your land is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your presence, foreigners devour your fields. It is desolate, as if overthrown by strangers.
8 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
9 Unless the LORD of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have been like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11 "What is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed animals; I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats.
12 When you come to appear before Me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of My courts?
13 Do not bring any more meaningless offerings; your incense is detestable to Me. New Moons, Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—I cannot endure iniquity combined with solemn assembly.
14 Your New Moons and appointed festivals My soul hates. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you. Even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean. Remove your evil deeds from My sight; stop doing evil.
17 Learn to do what is good; seek justice, correct the oppressor. Defend the cause of the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.
18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness once dwelt in her, but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebellious and companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the fatherless, and the widow's case never comes before them.
24 Therefore, this is the declaration of the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: "I will gain relief from My adversaries and avenge Myself on My enemies.
