Isaiah 1:9-31

91UnlessH3884 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 Had leftH3498 us a fewH4592 2survivorsH8300, We would be like 3SodomH5467, We would be likeH1819 GomorrahH6017.

10HearH8085 4the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, You rulersH7101 of 5SodomH5467; GiveH238 earH238 to the instructionH8451 of our GodH430, You peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017.11“6WhatH4100 are your multipliedH7230 sacrificesH2077 to Me?” SaysH559 the LordH3068. “I 7have hadH7646 enoughH7646 of burntH5930 offeringsH5930 of ramsH352 And the fatH2459 of fedH4806 cattleH4806; And I takeH2654 noH3808 pleasureH2654 in the bloodH1818 of bullsH6499, lambsH3532 or goatsH6260.12WhenH3588 you comeH935 8to appearH7200 beforeH6440 Me, WhoH4310 requiresH1245 9of you thisH2088 tramplingH7429 of My courtsH2691?13BringH935 your worthlessH7723 offeringsH4503 noH3808 longerH3254, 10IncenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 to Me. 11NewH2320 moonH2320 and sabbathH7676, the 12callingH7121 of assembliesH4744-- I cannotH3201H3808 13endureH3201 iniquityH205 and the solemnH6116 assemblyH6116.14I hateH8130 your newH2320 moonH2320 festivals and your 14appointedH4150 feastsH4150, They have becomeH1961 a burdenH2960 to Me; I am 15wearyH3811 of bearingH5375 them.15So when you 16spreadH6566 out your handsH3709 in prayer, 17I will hideH5956 My eyesH5869 from you; YesH1571, evenH1571 thoughH3588 you 18multiplyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not listenH8085. 19Your handsH3027 are 20coveredH4390 with bloodH1818.

16“21WashH7364 yourselves, 22makeH2135 yourselves cleanH2135; 23RemoveH5493 the evilH7455 of your deedsH4611 from My sightH5048H5869. 24CeaseH2308 to do evilH7489,17LearnH3925 to doH3190 goodH3190; 25SeekH1875 justiceH4941, ReproveH833 the ruthlessH2541, 2627DefendH8199 the orphanH3490, PleadH7378 for the widowH490.

18“ComeH1980 nowH4994, and 28let us reasonH3198 together,” SaysH559 the LordH3068, “29ThoughH518 your sinsH2399 are as scarletH8144, They will be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; ThoughH518 they are redH119 like crimsonH8438, They will be like woolH6785.1930IfH518 you consentH14 and obeyH8085, You will 31eatH398 the bestH2898 of the landH776;20But ifH518 you refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, You will be 32devouredH398 by the swordH2719.” TrulyH3588, 33the mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.

21HowH351 the faithfulH539 cityH7151 has becomeH1961 a 34harlotH2181, She who was fullH4392 of justiceH4941! RighteousnessH6664 once lodgedH3885 in her, But nowH6258 murderersH7523.22Your silverH3701 has becomeH1961 drossH5509, Your drinkH5435 dilutedH4107 with waterH4325.23Your 35rulersH8269 are rebelsH5637 And companionsH2270 of thievesH1590; EveryoneH3605 36lovesH157 a bribeH7810 And chasesH7291 after rewardsH8021. They 37do not 38defendH8199 the 39orphanH3490, NorH3808 does the widow’sH490 pleaH7379 comeH935 beforeH413 them.

24ThereforeH3651 the LordH136 40GodH3068 of hostsH6635, The 41MightyH46 OneH46 of IsraelH3478, declaresH5002, “AhH1945, I will be relievedH5162 of My adversariesH6862 And 42avengeH5358 Myself on My foesH340.25I will also turnH7725 My handH3027 againstH5921 you, And will 43smeltH6884 away your drossH5509 as with lyeH1253 And will removeH5493 allH3605 your alloyH913.26Then I will restoreH7725 your 44judgesH8199 as at the firstH7223, And your counselorsH3289 as at the beginningH8462; AfterH310 that you will be calledH7121 the 45cityH5892 of righteousnessH6664, A faithfulH539 cityH7151.”

27ZionH6726 will be 46redeemedH6299 with justiceH4941 And her 47repentantH7725 ones with righteousnessH6666.28But 48transgressorsH6586 and sinnersH2400 will be 49crushedH7667 togetherH3164, And those who forsakeH5800 the LordH3068 will comeH3615 to an endH3615.29SurelyH3588 50you will be ashamedH954 of the 5152oaksH352 whichH834 you have desiredH2530, And you will be embarrassedH2659 at the 53gardensH1593 whichH834 you have chosenH977.30For you will be like an 54oakH424 whose 55leafH5929 fadesH5034 awayH5034 Or as a gardenH1593 that hasH369 noH369 waterH4325.31The strongH2634 manH2634 will becomeH1961 tinderH5296, His workH6467 also a sparkH5213. Thus they shall bothH8147 56burnH1197 togetherH3164 And thereH369 will be 57noneH369 to quenchH3518 them.
