gltv - Isaiah:1:2-31

gltv@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth! For Jehovah has spoken: I have nursed and brought up sons, but they have rebelled against Me.

gltv@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not understood.

gltv@Isaiah:1:4 @ Woe, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who corrupt! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have scorned the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged backward.

gltv@Isaiah:1:5 @ Why will you be stricken any more? Will you continue the revolt? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint.

gltv@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the sole of the foot even to the head, no soundness is in it; only a wound and a stripe and a fresh blow; they have not been closed, nor bound up; nor was it softened with oil.

gltv@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your land is a desolation; your cities burned with fire. Foreigners devour your land before you; and behold, ruin, as overthrown by foreigners.

gltv@Isaiah:1:8 @ And the daughter of Zion is left a booth in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

gltv@Isaiah:1:9 @ Except Jehovah of hosts had left a remnant for us, a few, we would be as Sodom; we would be as Gomorrah.

gltv@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom. Listen to the law of our God, people of Gomorrah.

gltv@Isaiah:1:11 @ What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I am full of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fattened cattle, and the blood of bulls; nor do I delight in the blood of lambs and he goats.

gltv@Isaiah:1:12 @ When you come to see My face, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts?

gltv@Isaiah:1:13 @ Do not add to bringing vain sacrifice; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the going to meeting, and the evil assembly.

gltv@Isaiah:1:14 @ My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to Me. I am weary of bearing them.

gltv@Isaiah:1:15 @ And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Yea, when you multiply prayer, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

gltv@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My sight; stop doing evil.

gltv@Isaiah:1:17 @ Learn to do good, seek justice, reprove the oppressor, judge the orphan, strive for the widow.

gltv@Isaiah:1:18 @ Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as the crimson, they shall be like wool.

gltv@Isaiah:1:19 @ If you are willing and hear, you shall eat the good of the land.

gltv@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

gltv@Isaiah:1:21 @ Oh how the faithful city has become a harlot! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it. But now, murderers!

gltv@Isaiah:1:22 @ Your silver has become dross; your wine is diluted with water.

gltv@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, and is pursuing rewards. They do not judge the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come to them,

gltv@Isaiah:1:24 @ and says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Alas! I will be eased of My foes, and avenge Myself of My enemies.

gltv@Isaiah:1:25 @ And I will return My hand on you, and refine your dross, as with lye, and take away all your alloy.

gltv@Isaiah:1:26 @ And I will return your judges as at the first; and your advisors, as at the beginning; then you shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.

gltv@Isaiah:1:27 @ Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her returning ones with righteousness.

gltv@Isaiah:1:28 @ And the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together. And those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

gltv@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they shall be ashamed of the trees which you lusted after; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that you have chosen.

gltv@Isaiah:1:30 @ For you shall be like a tree whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water in it.

gltv@Isaiah:1:31 @ And the strong shall be for tow, and his work for a spark; and they shall burn both together; and no one shall quench them.
