001:001
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

001:002
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

001:003
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

001:004
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

001:005
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

001:006
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

001:007
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

001:008
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

001:009
Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

001:010
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

001:011
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

001:012
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

001:013
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

001:014
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

001:015
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

001:016
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

001:017
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

001:018
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

001:019
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

001:020
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

001:021
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

001:022
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

001:023
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

001:024
Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

001:025
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

001:026
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

001:027
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

001:028
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

001:029
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

001:030
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

001:031
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
