Isaiah 1:1-9

1The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning 1Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the 2reigns of 3Uzziah, 4Jotham, 5Ahaz, and 6Hezekiah, kings of Judah.27Listen, heavens, and hear, 8earth; For the Lord has spoken: “9Sons I have raised and brought up, But they have 10revolted against Me.3An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master’s manger, But Israel 11does not know, My people 12do not understand.”

4Oh, sinful nation, People weighed down with guilt, 1314Offspring of evildoers, Sons who 15act corruptly! They have 16abandoned the Lord, They have 17despised the Holy One of Israel, They have turned away 18from Him.

5Where will you be stricken again, As you 19continue in your rebellion? The entire head is 20sick And the entire heart is faint.621From the sole of the foot even to the head There is 22nothing healthy in it, Only bruises, slashes, and raw wounds; 23Not pressed out nor bandaged, Nor softened with oil.

7Your 24land is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire; As for your fields, strangers are devouring them in front of you; It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.8The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a city under watch.925If the Lord of armies Had not left us a few 26survivors, We would be like 27Sodom, We would be like Gomorrah.
