updv - Isaiah:1:2-31

updv@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.

updv@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; [but] Israel does not know, my people do not consider.

updv@Isaiah:1:4 @ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged backward.

updv@Isaiah:1:5 @ Why will you(note:){+}(:note) be still stricken, that you{+} revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

updv@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes: they haven't been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.

updv@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your(note:){+}(:note) 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.

updv@Isaiah:1:8 @ And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

updv@Isaiah:1:9 @ Except Yahweh of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.

updv@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the word of Yahweh, you(note:){+}(:note) rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, you{+} people of Gomorrah.

updv@Isaiah:1:11 @ What to me is the multitude of your(note:){+}(:note) sacrifices? says Yahweh: I have had enough 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.

updv@Isaiah:1:12 @ When you(note:){+}(:note) come to see my face, who has required this at your{+} hand, to trample my courts?

updv@Isaiah:1:13 @ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is disgusting to me; new moon and Sabbath, the calling of assemblies--I can't endure evil and the solemn meeting.

updv@Isaiah:1:14 @ Your(note:){+}(:note) new moons and your{+} appointed feasts my soul hates; they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing them.

updv@Isaiah:1:15 @ And when you(note:){+}(:note) spread forth your{+} hands, I will hide my eyes from you{+}; yes, when you{+} make many prayers, I will not hear: your{+} hands are full of blood.

updv@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your(note:){+}(:note) doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

updv@Isaiah:1:17 @ learn to do well; seek justice, correct oppression, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

updv@Isaiah:1:18 @ Come now, and let us reason together, says Yahweh: though your(note:){+}(:note) sins be as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they will be as wool.

updv@Isaiah:1:19 @ If you(note:){+}(:note) are willing and obedient, you{+} will eat the good of the land:

updv@Isaiah:1:20 @ but if you(note:){+}(:note) refuse and rebel, you{+} will be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.

updv@Isaiah:1:21 @ How has the faithful city become a prostitute! She that was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.

updv@Isaiah:1:22 @ Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.

updv@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your princes are rebellious, and partners of thieves; everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards: they do not judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

updv@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore says the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease myself of my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies;

updv@Isaiah:1:25 @ and I will turn my hand on you, and thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin;

updv@Isaiah:1:26 @ and I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning: afterward you will be called The city of righteousness, a faithful town.

updv@Isaiah:1:27 @ Zion will be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.

updv@Isaiah:1:28 @ But the destruction of transgressors and sinners will be together, and those who forsake Yahweh will be consumed.

updv@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they will be ashamed of the oaks which you(note:){+}(:note) have desired, and you{+} will be confounded for the gardens that you{+} have chosen.

updv@Isaiah:1:30 @ For you(note:){+}(:note) will be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.

updv@Isaiah:1:31 @ And the strong will be as flax, and his work as a spark; and they will both burn together, and none will quench them.
