bes - Isaiah:1:2-31

bes@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heaven, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, saying, I have begotten and reared up children, but they have (note:)Or, «set me at nought’(:note) rebelled against me.

bes@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel does not know me, and the people has not regarded me.

bes@Isaiah:1:4 @ Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: ye have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

bes@Isaiah:1:5 @ Why should ye be smitten any more, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.

bes@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them; neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer are healed: it is not possible to apply a plaister, nor oil, nor bandages.

bes@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your land is desolate, your cities burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations.

bes@Isaiah:1:8 @ The daughter of Sion shall be deserted as a tent in a vineyard, and as a storehouse of fruits in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

bes@Isaiah:1:9 @

bes@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodoma; attend to the law of God, thou people of Gomorrha.

bes@Isaiah:1:11 @ Of what value to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am full of whole-burnt-offerings of rams; and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats:

bes@Isaiah:1:12 @ neither shall ye come with these to appear before me; for who has required these things at your hands? Ye shall no more tread my court.

bes@Isaiah:1:13 @ Though ye bring fine flour, it is vain; incense is an abomination to me; I cannot bear your new moons, and your sabbaths, and the great day;

bes@Isaiah:1:14 @ your fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: ye have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins.

bes@Isaiah:1:15 @ When ye stretch forth your hands, I will turn away mine eyes from you: and though ye make many supplications, I will not hearken to you; for your hands are full of blood.

bes@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash you, be clean; remove your iniquities from your souls before mine eyes; cease from your iniquities;

bes@Isaiah:1:17 @ learn to do well; diligently seek judgement, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow.

bes@Isaiah:1:18 @ And come, let us reason together, saith the Lord: and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make them white as wool.

bes@Isaiah:1:19 @ And if ye be willing, and hearken to me, ye shall eat the good of the land:

bes@Isaiah:1:20 @ but if ye be not willing, nor hearken to me, a sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.

bes@Isaiah:1:21 @ How has the faithful city Sion, once full of judgement, become a harlot! wherein righteousness lodged, but now murderers.

bes@Isaiah:1:22 @ Your silver is worthless, thy wine merchants mix the wine with water.

bes@Isaiah:1:23 @ Thy princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.

bes@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Woe to the mighty men of Israel; for my wrath shall not cease against mine adversaries, and I will execute judgement on mine enemies.

bes@Isaiah:1:25 @ And I will bring my hand upon thee, and purge thee (note:)Gr. to pureness(:note) completely, and I will destroy the rebellious, and will take away from thee all transgressors.

bes@Isaiah:1:26 @ And I will establish thy judges as before, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward thou shalt be called the city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city of Sion.

bes@Isaiah:1:27 @ For her captives shall be saved with judgement, and with mercy.

bes@Isaiah:1:28 @ And the transgressors and the sinners shall be crushed together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be utterly consumed.

bes@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they shall be ashamed of their idols, which they delighted in, and they are made ashamed of the gardens which they coveted.

bes@Isaiah:1:30 @ For they shall be as a turpentine tree that has cast its leaves, and as a garden that has no water.

bes@Isaiah:1:31 @ And their strength shall be as a thread of tow, and their works as sparks, and the transgressors and the sinners shall be burnt up together, and there shall be none to quench them.
