Isaiah Chapter 1

1The visionH2377 of IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531, whichH834 he sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818, JothamH3147, AhazH271, and HezekiahH2396, kingsH4428 of JudahH3063. 2HearH8085, O heavensH8064, and giveH238 earH238, O earthH776, for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696: I have nourished and broughtH7311 upH7311 childrenH1121, and they have rebelledH6586 againstH1696 meH7311. 3The oxH7794 knoweth his ownerH1167, and the ass his master’sH1167 crib: but IsraelH3478 doth notH3808 knowH3045, my peopleH5971 doth notH3808 considerH995. 4AhH1945 sinfulH2398 nationH1471, a peopleH5971 laden with iniquityH5771, a seedH2233 of evil-doers, childrenH1121 that deal corruptlyH7843: they have forsaken the LORDH3068, they have despisedH5006 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478, they are estranged and gone backwardH268. 5WhyH4100 will ye be stillH5750 strickenH5221, that ye revoltH5627 moreH5750 and moreH5750? the wholeH3605 headH7218 is sickH2483, and the wholeH3605 heartH3824 faintH1742. 6From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 evenH5704 unto the headH7218 there is noH3808 soundnessH4974 in it; but woundsH4347, and bruisesH6482, and festering sores: they have notH3808 been closed, neitherH3808 boundH2280 upH5704, neitherH3808 mollified with oilH8081. 7Your countryH776 is desolateH8077; your citiesH5892 are burnedH8313 with fireH784; your landH776, strangersH2114 devourH398 it in your presenceH5048, and it is desolateH8077, as overthrownH4114 by strangersH2114. 8And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498 as a boothH5521 in a vineyardH3754, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besiegedH5341 cityH5892. 9Except the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498 unto us a very smallH4592 remnantH8300, weH1819 should have been as SodomH5467, weH1819 should have been like unto GomorrahH6017. 10HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye rulersH7101 of SodomH5467; giveH238 earH238 unto the lawH8451 of our GodH430, ye peopleH5971 of GomorrahH6017. 11To whatH4100 purpose is the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto meH3808? saith the LORDH3068: I am fullH7646 of the burntH5930 offeringsH3068 of ramsH352, and the fatH2459 of fedH4806 beasts; and I delightH2654 notH3808 in the bloodH1818 of bullocks, or of lambsH3532, or of he-goats. 12When ye comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 meH6440, who hath requiredH1245 this at your handH3027, to trampleH7429 my courts? 13BringH935 noH3808 moreH3254 vainH7723 oblations; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto meH935; newH2320 moonH2320 and sabbathH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744,—I cannotH3808 awayH935 with iniquityH205 and the solemnH6116 meeting. 14Your newH2320 moonsH2320 and your appointedH4150 feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hateth: they are a trouble unto meH5315; I am wearyH3811 to bearH5375 them. 15And when ye spreadH6566 forthH8085 your handsH3027, I will hideH5956 mineH4480 eyesH5869 from youH3588: yeaH3588, when ye makeH8085 manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will notH369 hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. 16WashH7364 youH5493, makeH2135 youH5493 cleanH2135; putH5493 awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to doH5493 evilH7455: 17learnH3925 to doH3190 wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieve the oppressed, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. 18ComeH1961 nowH4994, and letH4994 usH4994 reasonH3198 together, saith the LORDH3068: thoughH518 your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; thoughH518 they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785. 19IfH518 ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776: 20but ifH518 ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it. 21HowH349 is the faithfulH539 cityH7151 becomeH1961 an harlotH2181! she that was fullH4395 of judgmentH4941! righteousnessH6664 lodged in herH1961, but nowH6258 murderersH7523. 22Thy silverH3701 is becomeH1961 drossH5509, thy wine mixed with waterH4325. 23Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590; everyH3605 one loveth giftsH7810, and followeth afterH413 rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 notH3808 the fatherlessH3490, neitherH3808 doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them. 24Therefore saith the LordH3068, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the MightyH46 One of IsraelH3478, AhH1945, I will ease meH5162 of mine adversaries, and avengeH5358 meH5162 of mine enemiesH341: 25and I will turnH7725 my handH3027 uponH5921 thee, and throughly purge awayH5493 thy drossH5509, and will takeH7725 awayH5493 allH3605 thy tinH913: 26and I will restoreH7725 thy judgesH8199 as at the firstH7223, and thy counsellors as at the beginningH8462: afterwardH310 thou shalt be calledH7121 The cityH5892 of righteousnessH6664, the faithfulH539 cityH5892. 27ZionH6726 shall be redeemedH6299 with judgmentH4941, and herH7725 converts with righteousnessH6666. 28But the destructionH7667 of the transgressorsH6586 and the sinnersH2400 shall be togetherH3162, and they that forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 shall be consumedH3615. 29For they shall be ashamedH954 of the oaksH352 whichH834 ye have desiredH2530, and ye shall be confoundedH2659 for the gardensH1593 that ye have chosenH977. 30For ye shall be as an oakH424 whoseH834 leafH5929 fadeth, and as a gardenH1593 that hath noH369 waterH4325. 31And the strongH2634 shall be as towH5296, and his workH6467 as a sparkH5213; and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197 togetherH3162, and noneH369 shall quenchH3518 them.
