1 T he visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of Amoz,H531 which he sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and Jerusalem,H3389 in the daysH3117 of Uzziah,H5818 Jotham,H3147 Ahaz,H271 and Hezekiah,H3169 kingsH4428 of Judah.H3063
2 Hear,H8085 O heavens,H8064 and give ear,H238 O earth;H776 for JehovahH3068 hath spoken:H1696 I have nourishedH1431 and brought upH7311 children,H1121 and they have rebelledH6586 against me.
3 The oxH7794 knowethH3045 his owner,H7069 and the assH2543 his master'sH1167 crib;H18 [but] IsraelH3478 doth not know,H3045 my peopleH5971 doth not consider.H995
4 AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nation,H1471 a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquity,H5771 a seedH2233 of evil-doers,H7489 childrenH1121 that deal corruptly!H7843 they have forsakenH5800 Jehovah,H3068 they have despisedH5006 the Holy OneH6918 of Israel,H3478 they are estrangedH2114 [and gone] backward.H268
5 Why will ye be still stricken,H5221 that ye revoltH5627 more and more?H3254 the whole headH7218 is sick,H2483 and the whole heartH3824 faint.H2483
6 From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even unto the headH7218 there is no soundnessH4974 in it; [but] wounds,H6482 and bruises,H2250 and freshH2961 stripes:H4347 they have not been closed,H2115 neither bound up,H2280 neither mollifiedH7401 with oil.H8081
7 Your countryH776 is desolate;H8077 your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fire;H784 your land,H127 strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presence, and it is desolate,H8077 as overthrownH4114 by strangers.H2114
8 And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a boothH5521 in a vineyard,H3754 as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbers,H4750 as a besiegedH5341 city.H5892
9 ExceptH3884 JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498 unto us a very smallH4592 remnant,H8300 we should have beenH1961 as Sodom,H5467 we should have been likeH1819 unto Gomorrah.H6017
10 HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah,H3068 ye rulersH7101 of Sodom;H5467 give earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our God,H430 ye peopleH5971 of Gomorrah.H6017
11 WhatH4100 unto me is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrifices?H2077 saithH559 Jehovah:H3068 I have had enoughH7646 of the burnt-offeringsH5930 of rams,H352 and the fatH2459 of fed beasts;H4806 and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocks,H6499 or of lambs,H3532 or of he-goats.H6260
12 When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your hand,H3027 to trampleH7429 my courts?H2691
13 BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblations;H4503 incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; new moonH2320 and sabbath,H7676 the callingH7121 of assemblies,—H4744 I cannot away withH3201 iniquityH205 and the solemn meeting.H6116
14 Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hateth;H8130 they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811 of bearingH5375 them.
15 And when ye spread forthH6566 your hands,H3709 I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you; yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayers,H8605 I will not hear:H8085 your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of blood.H1818
16 WashH7364 you, make you clean;H2135 put awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyes;H5869 ceaseH2308 to do evil;H7489
17 learnH3925 to do well;H3190 seekH1875 justice,H4941 relieveH833 the oppressed,H2541 judgeH8199 the fatherless,H3490 pleadH7378 for the widow.H490
18 Come now,H3212 and let us reason together,H3198 saithH559 Jehovah:H3068 though your sinsH2399 be as scarlet,H8144 they shall be as whiteH3835 as snow;H7950 though they be redH119 like crimson,H8438 they shall be as wool.H6785
19 If ye be willingH14 and obedient,H8085 ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the land:H776
20 but if ye refuseH3985 and rebel,H4784 ye shall be devouredH398 with the sword;H2719 for the mouthH6310 of JehovahH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
21 How is the faithfulH539 cityH7151 become a harlot!H2181 she that was fullH4392 of justice!H4941 righteousnessH6664 lodgedH3885 in her, but now murderers.H7523
22 Thy silverH3701 is become dross,H5509 thy wineH5435 mixedH4107 with water.H4325
23 Thy princesH8269 are rebellious,H5637 and companionsH2270 of thieves;H1590 every one lovethH157 bribes,H7810 and followethH7291 after rewards:H8021 they judgeH8199 not the fatherless,H3490 neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
24 Therefore saithH5002 the Lord,H113 JehovahH3068 of hosts,H6635 the Mighty OneH46 of Israel,H3478 Ah,H1945 I will easeH5162 me of mine adversaries,H6862 and avengeH5358 me of mine enemies;H341
25 and I will turnH7725 my handH3027 upon thee, and thoroughlyH1253 purge awayH6884 thy dross,H5509 and will take awayH5493 all thy tin;H913
26 and I will restoreH7725 thy judgesH8199 as at the first,H7223 and thy counsellorsH3289 as at the beginning:H8462 afterwardH310 thou shalt be calledH7121 The cityH5892 of righteousness,H6664 a faithfulH539 town.H7151
27 ZionH6726 shall be redeemedH6299 with justice,H4941 and her convertsH7725 with righteousness.H6666
28 But the destructionH7667 of transgressorsH6586 and sinnersH2400 shall be together,H3162 and they that forsakeH5800 JehovahH3068 shall be consumed.H3615
29 For they shall be ashamedH954 of the oaksH352 which ye have desired,H2530 and ye shall be confoundedH2659 for the gardensH1593 that ye have chosen.H977
30 For ye shall be as an oakH424 whose leafH5929 fadeth,H5034 and as a gardenH1593 that hath no water.H4325
31 And the strongH2634 shall be as tow,H5296 and his workH6467 as a spark;H5213 and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197 together,H3162 and none shall quenchH3518 them.
