13 Isaiah 1:1

13 Isaiah 1:1-31 ¹The 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. ²Hear, 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. ³The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his masters crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. ⁴Ah 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.

⁵Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ⁶From 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. ⁷Your 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. ⁸And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. ⁹Except 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.

¹⁰Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. ¹¹To 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. ¹²When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? ¹³Bring 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. ¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. ¹⁵And 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.

¹⁶Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; ¹⁷Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. ¹⁸Come 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. ¹⁹If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: ²⁰But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

²¹How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. ²²Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: ²³Thy 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. ²⁴Therefore 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:

²⁵And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: ²⁶And 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. ²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

²⁸And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. ²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. ³⁰For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. ³¹And 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.(KJV)

13 Isaiah 1:1-31 ¹THE 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:

²¶ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the LORD has spoken, I have reared and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. ³The ox knows its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not understand. ⁴Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, an offspring of evildoers, children that are corrupt; you have forsaken the LORD, you have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, you have gone away backward. ⁵Why should you be stricken any more, and be chastised? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds and bruises, and swelling sores; they have not been closed, neither bound up, nor softened with oil. ⁷Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. ⁸And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. ⁹Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah.

¹⁰¶ Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah. ¹¹Of what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? says the LORD; I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I do not delight in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats. ¹²When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts? ¹³Bring no more vain offerings to me; their savour is an abomination to me; in the new moons and sabbaths, you call an assembly; I do not eat that which is obtained wrongfully, and taken by force. ¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they are a burden to me; I am weary to bear them. ¹⁵And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶¶ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; ¹⁷Learn to do good; seek justice, do good to the oppressed, plead for the fatherless, plead for the widows. ¹⁸Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be like wool. ¹⁹If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; ²⁰But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

²¹¶ How is the faithful city become a harlot! For once it was full of justice; and righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers. ²²Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water. ²³Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one of them loves a bribe and runs after rewards; they plead not the cause of the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come before them. ²⁴Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will avenge myself of my adversaries, I will take vengeance upon my enemies; ²⁵And I will turn my hand against you, and purge away your rebellious men, and remove all your iniquities; ²⁶And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. ²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her captivity with righteousness. ²⁸And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and those who have forsaken the LORD shill perish. ²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the idols which they have desired, and they shall be confounded by the witchcraft which they have chosen. ³⁰For they shall be like an oak whose leaves have fallen, and like a garden that has no water. ³¹And their strength shall be like cotton, and their works like a spark, and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench them. (LAM)

13 Isaiah 1:1-31 ¹The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzzi'ah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezeki'ah, kings of Judah.

²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the LORD has spoken: "Sons have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me. ³The ox knows its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people does not understand."

⁴Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged.

⁵Why will you still be smitten, that you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and bleeding wounds; they are not pressed out, or bound up, or softened with oil.

⁷Your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence aliens devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by aliens. ⁸And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

⁹If the LORD of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and become like Gomor'rah.

¹⁰Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomor'rah! ¹¹"What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the LORD; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

¹²"When you come to appear before me, who requires of you this trampling of my courts? ¹³Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath and the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. ¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them. ¹⁵When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. ¹⁶Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil, ¹⁷learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.

¹⁸"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. ¹⁹If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; ²⁰But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

²¹How the faithful city has become a harlot, she that was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. ²²Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water. ²³Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Every one loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not defend the fatherless, and the widow's cause does not come to them.

²⁴Therefore the Lord says, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: "Ah, I will vent my wrath on my enemies, and avenge myself on my foes. ²⁵I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy. ²⁶And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city."

²⁷Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness. ²⁸But rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together, and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed. ²⁹For you shall be ashamed of the oaks in which you delighted; and you shall blush for the gardens which you have chosen. ³⁰For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water. ³¹And the strong shall become tow, and his work a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with none to quench them.(RSV)

13 Isaiah 1:1-31 ¹The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. ²Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. ³The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand." ⁴Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. ⁵Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. ⁶From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness -- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil. ⁷Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. ⁸The Daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a city under siege. ⁹Unless the LORD Almighty had left us some survivors, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah. ¹⁰Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! ¹¹"The multitude of your sacrifices -- what are they to me?" says the LORD. "I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. ¹²When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of my courts? ¹³Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations -- I cannot bear your evil assemblies. ¹⁴Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. ¹⁵When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; ¹⁶wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, ¹⁷learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. ¹⁸"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. ¹⁹If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; ²⁰but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword." For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. ²¹See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her -- but now murderers! ²²Your silver has become dross, your choice wine is diluted with water. ²³Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them. ²⁴Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: "Ah, I will get relief from my foes and avenge myself on my enemies. ²⁵I will turn my hand against you; I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove all your impurities. ²⁶I will restore your judges as in days of old, your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City." ²⁷Zion will be redeemed with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. ²⁸But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the LORD will perish. ²⁹"You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you have chosen. ³⁰You will be like an oak with fading leaves, like a garden without water. ³¹The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire."(NIV)

13 Isaiah 1:1-31 ¹The 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.

²Hear, heavens,
And listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken:

I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against me.

³The ox knows his owner,
And the donkey his master's crib;
But Israel doesn't know,
My people don't consider.

⁴Ah sinful nation,
A people loaded with iniquity,
A seed of evil-doers,
Children who deal corruptly!

They have forsaken Yahweh.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.

⁵Why should you_P be beaten more,
That you_P revolt more and more?

The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faint.

⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it:
Wounds, welts, and open sores.
They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.

⁷Your country is desolate.
Your cities are burned with fire.
Strangers devour your land in your presence,
And it is desolate,
As overthrown by strangers.

⁸The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a hut in a field of melons,
Like a besieged city.

⁹Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have been as Sodom;
We would have been like Gomorrah.

¹⁰Hear the word of Yahweh, you_P rulers of Sodom!
Listen to the law of our God, you_P people of Gomorrah!

¹¹'What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,' says Yahweh.
'I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams,
And the fat of fed animals.
I don't delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs,
Or of male goats.

¹²When you_P come to appear before me,
Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?

¹³Bring no more vain offerings.
Incense is an abomination to me;
New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations:
I can't bear with evil assemblies.

¹⁴My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts;
They are a burden to me.
I am weary of bearing them.

¹⁵When you_P spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you;
Yes, when you_P make many prayers, I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶Wash yourselves, make yourself clean.
Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes;
Cease to do evil.

¹⁷Learn to do well.
Seek justice,
Relieve the oppressed,
Judge the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.'

¹⁸'Come now, and let us reason together,' says Yahweh:
'Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

¹⁹If you_P are willing and obedient,
You_P shall eat the good of the land;
²⁰But if you_P refuse and rebel, you_P shall be devoured with the sword;
For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.'

²¹How the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her,
But now murderers.

²²Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.

²³Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards.
They don't judge the fatherless,
Neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

²⁴Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,
The Mighty One of Israel, says:

'Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries,
And avenge myself of my enemies;

²⁵And I will turn my hand on you,
Thoroughly purge away your dross,
And will take away all your tin.

²⁶I will restore your judges as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.

Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness,
A faithful town.'

²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her converts with righteousness.

²⁸But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you_P have desired,
And you_P shall be confounded for the gardens that you_P have chosen.

³⁰For you_P shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.

³¹The strong will be like tinder,
And his work like a spark.(WEB)

13 Isaiah 1:1-31 ¹THE 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: ²Hear, Oh heavens, and give ear, Oh earth; for Yahvah has spoken, I have reared and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. ³The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not understand. ⁴Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, an offspring of evildoers, children that are corrupt; you have forsaken Yahvah, you have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, you have gone away backward.

⁵Why should you be struck anymore, and be chastised? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds and bruises, and swelling sores; they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor softened with oil. ⁷Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. ⁸And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. ⁹Except Yahvah of hosts had left to us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah.

¹⁰Hear the word of Yahvah, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah. ¹¹Yahvah said, Of what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals; and I do not delight in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats. ¹²When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts? ¹³Do not bring vain offerings to me anymore; their savor is an abomination to me; in the new moons and sabbaths, you call an assembly; I do not eat that which is obtained wrongfully, and taken by force. ¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they are a burden to me; I am weary to bear them. ¹⁵And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your actions from before my eyes; cease to do evil; ¹⁷Learn to do good; seek justice, do good to the oppressed, plead for the fatherless, plead for the widows. ¹⁸Come now, and let us reason together, says Yahvah: though your sins be as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they will be like wool. ¹⁹If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land; ²⁰But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahvah has spoken it.

²¹How is the faithful city become a prostitute. For once it was full of justice; and righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers. ²²Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water. ²³Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; each one of them loves a bribe and runs after rewards; they do not plead the cause of the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come before them. ²⁴Therefore thus says Yahvah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I will avenge myself of my adversaries, I will take vengeance on my enemies;

²⁵And I will turn my hand against you, and purge away your rebellious men, and remove all your iniquities; ²⁶And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; afterward you will be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city. ²⁷Zion will be redeemed with justice, and her captivity with righteousness.

²⁸And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners will be together, and those who have forsaken Yahvah will perish. ²⁹For they will be ashamed of the idols which they have desired, and they will be confounded by the witchcraft which they have chosen. ³⁰For they will be like an oak whose leaves have fallen, and like a garden that has no water. ³¹And their strength will be like cotton, and their works like a spark, and they will both burn together, and there will be no one to quench them.
