Isaiah 1:11-23

11What unto me is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077? saith Jehovah: I have had enough of the burnt-offerings of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fed beasts; and I delightH2654 not in the bloodH1818 of bullocks, or of lambsH3532, or of he-goats. 12When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 before me, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to trampleH7429 my courts? 13BringH935 no more vain oblations; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; newH2320 moonH2320 and sabbathH7676, the callingH7121 of assemblies,—I cannot away with iniquity and the solemnH6116 meeting. 14Your newH2320 moonsH2320 and your appointedH4150 feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hateth; they are a trouble unto me; I amH1961 wearyH3811 of bearingH5375 them. 15And when ye spreadH6566 forth your handsH3027, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you; yea, when ye makeH8085 manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. 16WashH7364 you, make you clean; put awayH5493 the evil of your doings from before mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to do evil; 17learnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 justiceH4941, relieve the oppressed, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, plead for the widowH490.

18Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sinsH2399 beH1961 as scarletH8144, they shall beH1961 as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they beH1961 redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall beH1961 as woolH6785. 19If ye be willingH14 and obedient, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776: 20but if ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719; for the mouthH6310 of Jehovah hath spokenH1696 it.

21HowH349 is the faithfulH539 city becomeH1961 a harlot! she that wasH1961 fullH4395 of justiceH4941! righteousnessH6664 lodged in her, but nowH6258 murderersH7523. 22Thy silverH3701 is becomeH1961 dross, thy wine mixed with waterH4325. 23Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590; every one loveth bribesH7810, and followeth after rewards: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
