The Visions
of
Isaiah
son
of
Amoz,
that
he
hath
seen
concerning Judah and Jerusalem ,
in
the days
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
This
is
the vision
concerning Judah and Jerusalem that
Isaiah
son
of
Amoz
saw
during
the reigns
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Hear
, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah
hath
spoken: Sons
I have nourished
and brought up, And
they
--
they transgressed
against Me.
Listen
, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the
LORD
has
spoken: “
I have raised
children
and brought them
up, but
they have
rebelled
against Me.
An
ox hath
known
its owner, And an
ass
the crib
of
its master
, Israel hath
not known,
My people hath
not understood
.
The
ox knows
its owner, and the donkey
its master’s
manger
, but
Israel does
not know;
My people do
not understand
. ”
Ah
, sinning
nation, a people heavy
`
with '
iniquity, A seed
of evil
doers
, sons
--
corrupters
! They have forsaken Jehovah,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel ,
They
have
gone
away
backward
.
Alas
, O
sinful
nation, a people laden
with iniquity, a brood
of evildoers
, children
of
depravity
! They have forsaken the
LORD;
they have despised the Holy One of Israel and
turned
their
backs
on
Him
.
Wherefore
are
ye
stricken
any
more? Ye
do add
apostacy!
Every
head is
become
diseased
, and every
heart `
is '
sick
.
Why
do
you
want
more beatings
? Why
do you
keep
rebelling?
Your
head has
a
massive
wound
, and your
whole
heart is afflicted
.
From the sole of the
foot --
unto
the head, There is no soundness in
it,
Wound,
and bruise,
and fresh
smiting!
They
have
not
been
closed
nor bound,
Nor have
they
softened
with ointment
.
From the sole of your
foot to
the top
of
your
head, there is no soundness —
only
wounds
and welts
and festering
sores
neither
cleansed
nor bandaged
nor soothed
with oil
.
Your land `
is '
a
desolation,
your cities burnt
with fire ,
Your ground,
before you strangers
are
consuming
it,
And
a desolation as
overthrown
by strangers !
Your land is desolate;
your cities are
burned
with fire .
Foreigners
devour
your fields
before you —
a desolation demolished
by strangers .
And left
hath
been
the daughter of Zion ,
As
a booth
in a vineyard, As
a lodge
in a place
of
cucumbers
--
as
a city besieged.
And the Daughter of Zion is
abandoned
like
a shelter
in a vineyard, like
a shack
in a cucumber
field,
like
a city besieged.
Unless Jehovah
of Hosts had left to
us a remnant
, Shortly
--
as
Sodom
we had
been
, To
Gomorrah
we had
been
like!
Unless the
LORD
of Hosts had left us a few
survivors
, we would
have
become
like
Sodom
, we would
have
resembled
Gomorrah.
Hear the word of Jehovah
, ye
rulers of Sodom ,
Give
ear
to the law
of our God, ye
people of Gomorrah ,
Hear the word of the
LORD
, you
rulers of Sodom ;
listen
to the instruction
of our God, you
people of Gomorrah !
`Why
to Me the
abundance
of
your sacrifices? saith
Jehovah,
I have
been
satiated
`with'
burnt -
offerings of rams ,
And fat of fatlings
; And
blood of bullocks,
and lambs ,
And he-
goats I
have
not
desired
.
“What
good
to Me is
your multitude
of
sacrifices? ”
says
the
LORD.
“
I am
full
from
the
burnt offerings of rams and the
fat of well-fed
cattle
; I
take
no
delight
in
the
blood of bulls
and lambs and goats.
When ye
come in
to appear before Me, Who hath
required this of your
hand,
To
trample
My courts?
When you
come to appear before Me, who has
required this of you—
this
trampling
of
My courts?
Add
not
to
bring in
a
vain
present,
Incense --
an
abomination
it
`
is '
to Me ,
New moon
, and
sabbath
, calling
of
convocation!
Rendure
not
iniquity
--
and a restraint!
Bring your
worthless
offerings
no
more;
your
incense is detestable
to Me —
your
New Moons
, Sabbaths
, and convocations.
I
cannot
endure
iniquity
in
a solemn
assembly.
Your new moons and your set
seasons
hath
My
soul
hated,
They have been
upon
me
for
a burden ,
I have
been
weary of bearing.
I
hate
your New Moons and your appointed
feasts.
They have become
a burden to
Me;
I am
weary of bearing them
.
And
in
your
spreading
forth
your hands, I hide mine
eyes from you ,
Also
when
ye
increase
prayer
, I do
not hear,
Your hands of
blood have
been
full
.
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
covered
with
blood.
Wash ye,
make
ye
pure,
Turn
aside
the
evil
of
your doings,
from
before
Mine
eyes,
Cease
to
do
evil ,
learn
to
do
good
.
Wash and
cleanse
yourselves.
Remove
your evil deeds
from
My
sight
. Stop
doing
evil!
Seek judgment,
make
happy
the oppressed,
Judge
the fatherless ,
strive
`for'
the widow.
Learn
to
do
right;
seek justice
and
correct
the oppressor.
Defend
the fatherless and
plead
the case
of
the
widow. ”
Come ,
I
pray
you
, and
we
reason ,
saith
Jehovah
, If
your sins are as
scarlet, as
snow
they shall
be white ,
If
they are red as crimson, as
wool
they shall
be!
“
Come now
, let
us
reason together
, ”
says
the
LORD.
“Though
your sins are like
scarlet, they will
be as
white as
snow;
though
they are as
red as crimson, they will
become
like
wool.
If ye
are willing ,
and have
hearkened
, The good
of the land ye
consume,
If you
are willing and obedient
, you
will
eat
the best
of the land .
And
if ye
refuse,
and have
rebelled
, `
By '
the sword ye
are
consumed,
For the mouth of Jehovah
hath
spoken.
But
if you
resist
and rebel
, you
will
be
devoured
by the sword .”
For the mouth of the
LORD
has
spoken.
How hath
a
faithful city become a harlot ?
I
have
filled
it
`with'
judgment,
Righteousness lodgeth
in
it
--
now murderers .
See
how the
faithful city has
become a harlot !
She
once
was
full
of
justice;
righteousness resided
within
her,
but
now only
murderers !
Thy
silver hath
become dross ,
Thy
drink
polluted
with water.
Your
silver has
become dross ;
your
fine
wine
is
diluted
with water.
Thy
princes
`
are '
apostates
, and
companions
of thieves ,
Every
one
loving
a
bribe,
and pursuing
rewards ,
The
fatherless
they judge
not, And the plea of the widow cometh
not
to
them.
Your
rulers
are rebels
, friends
of thieves .
They
all
love
bribes
and chasing
after
rewards .
They do
not defend
the
fatherless
, and the plea of the widow never
comes
before
them.
Therefore --
the affirmation
of
the
Lord --
Jehovah
of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am
eased
of Mine
adversaries,
And I
am
avenged
of
Mine
enemies ,
Therefore the Lord GOD
of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel ,
declares
: “
Ah, I will
be
relieved
of My
foes
and avenge
Myself
on
My
enemies .
And
I turn back
My hand upon
thee,
And
I refine
as
purity
thy
dross ,
And
I turn
aside
all thy
tin,
I will
turn My hand against
you;
I will
thoroughly
purge
your
dross ;
I will
remove
all your
impurities.
And
I give
back
thy
judges as at the
first, And thy
counsellors
as in
the beginning ,
After this
thou
art
called ,
`A
city of righteousness --
a
faithful city. '
I will
restore
your
judges as at first, and your
counselors
as at
the beginning .
After that
you
will
be
called the
City of Righteousness ,
the
Faithful City. ”
Zion in
judgment
is
redeemed, And
her captivity
in
righteousness.
Zion will
be
redeemed with
justice
, her repentant
ones
with
righteousness.
And
the
destruction
of
transgressors
and sinners `is'
together, And those forsaking
Jehovah
are
consumed
.
But
rebels
and sinners will
together be
shattered
, and those who
forsake
the
LORD
will
perish
.
For
`men'
are
ashamed because
of the oaks That
ye
have desired,
And
ye
are
confounded
because
of
the gardens That ye
have chosen.
Surely
you
will
be
ashamed of the sacred
oaks in
which
you
have delighted;
you
will
be
embarrassed
by
the gardens that you
have chosen.
For ye
are
as
an oak whose leaf
is
fading
, And
as
a garden that
hath
no
water.
For you
will
become
like
an oak whose leaves
are
withered
, like
a garden without
water.
And
the strong hath
been
for
tow,
And his work for
a spark ,
And
burned
have
both of
them
together, And
there
is
none
quenching!
The strong man
will
become
tinder
and his work will
be
a spark ;
both will
burn
together, with
no
one
to
quench
the
flames.
