lesserot - Isaiah:1-3

lesserot@Isaiah:1:1 @ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziyahu, Jotham, Achaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord hath spoken: Children have I nourished and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his masters crib: Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:4 @ Woe! sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, seed of evildoers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken the Lord, they have incensed the Holy One of Israel, they are departed backward.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:5 @ Why will ye be stricken yet more? ye increase the revolt? every head is sick, and every heart is faint.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your country is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire; your soilin your presence, strangers devour it, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:8 @ And left is the daughter of Zion as a hut in a vineyard, as a lodge in a cucumber field, as a besieged city.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:9 @ Unless the Lord of hosts had left unto us a remnant ever so small, like Sodom should we have been, unto Gomorrah should we have been compared.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom: give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:11 @ For what serveth me the multitude of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am sated with the burntofferings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and the blood of bullocks, and of sheep, and of hegoats, I do not desire.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:12 @ When ye come to appear in my presencewho hath required this at your hand, to tread down my courts?

lesserot@Isaiah:1:13 @ Continue no more to bring an oblation of deceit; incense of abomination is it unto me: new moon and sabbath, the calling of assembliesI cannot bear misdeed with festive gathering.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:14 @ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth; they are become a burden unto me; I am weary to bear them,

lesserot@Isaiah:1:15 @ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will withdraw my eyes from you; yea, when ye make ever so many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

lesserot@Isaiah:1:17 @ Learn to do well; seek for justice, relieve the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:18 @ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins should be as scarlet, they shall become white as the snow; though they should be red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:19 @ If ye be willing and obey, the best of the land shall ye eat;

lesserot@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if ye refuse and rebel, by the sword shall ye be devoured; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:21 @ How is she become a harlot, the faithful town! she, that was full of justice; righteousness lodged therein; but now murderers.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:22 @ Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is drugged with water;

lesserot@Isaiah:1:23 @ Thy princes are rebels, and companions of thieves; every one loveth brides, and runneth after rewards; to the fatherless they will not do justice, and the cause of the widow doth not come unto them.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will take satisfaction on my adversaries, and be avenged on my enemies.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:25 @ And I will turn my hand against thee, and purge away as with lye thy dross, and remove all thy tin:

lesserot@Isaiah:1:26 @ And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning; after that shalt thou be called, The city of righteousness, the town that is faithful.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:27 @ Zion shall be redeemed through justice, and her converts through righteousness.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:28 @ But destruction shall come over transgressors and sinners together, and those that forsake the Lord shall perish.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:29 @ For people shall be ashamed because of the terebinths which ye had desired, and ye shall be put to the blush because of the gardens that ye had chosen.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:30 @ For ye shall be as a terebinth the leaves of which wither, and as a garden that hath no water.

lesserot@Isaiah:1:31 @ And the mighty oppressor shall become as tow, and his workman as a spark; and they shall both burn together, with none to quench.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:1 @ The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz foresaw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:2 @ And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lords house shall be firmly established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and unto it shall flow all the nations.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:3 @ And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us of his ways, and we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:4 @ And he will judge among the nations, and decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruningknives: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and they shall not learn any more war.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:5 @ O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:6 @ For thou hast abandoned thy people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of more than the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and with the children of strangers they unite themselves.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:7 @ And full became their land of silver and gold, and there is no end to their treasures; and full became their land of horses, and there is no end to their chariots;

lesserot@Isaiah:2:8 @ And full became their land of idols; to the work of their own hands they bow themselves, to what their own fingers have made.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:9 @ And so is bent down the son of earth, and humbled the man; and thou wilt not forgive them.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:10 @ Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:11 @ The looks of human pride shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bent down: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:12 @ For there is a day unto the Lord of hosts over every proud and lofty one; and over every exalted one, that he be brought low;

lesserot@Isaiah:2:13 @ And over all the cedars of the Lebanon, the high and exalted, and over all the oaks of Bashan;

lesserot@Isaiah:2:14 @ And over all the high mountains, and over all the exalted hills;

lesserot@Isaiah:2:15 @ And over every high tower, and over every fortified wall;

lesserot@Isaiah:2:16 @ And over all the ships of Tharshish; and over all desirable palaces.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:17 @ And the pride of man shall be bent down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled: and exalted shall be the Lord alone on that day.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:18 @ And the idols will he utterly abolish.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:19 @ And men shall enter into the caverns of rocks, and into the rifts of the earth, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:20 @ On that day shall a man cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which have been made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

lesserot@Isaiah:2:21 @ To enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the hollows of the cliffs, because of the dread of the Lord, and because of the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to terrify the earth.

lesserot@Isaiah:2:22 @ Withdraw yourselves from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; because, for what is he to be esteemed?

lesserot@Isaiah:3:1 @ For, behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:2 @ The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,

lesserot@Isaiah:3:3 @ The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:4 @ And I will set up boys as their princes, and children shall rule over them.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:5 @ And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:6 @ When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:

lesserot@Isaiah:3:7 @ He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler of the people.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem is sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:9 @ The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:10 @ Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:11 @ Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:12 @ My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:13 @ The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up to judge the people.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:14 @ The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and their princes; but yeye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:15 @ What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal of hosts.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:16 @ And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

lesserot@Isaiah:3:17 @ Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:18 @ On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoebuckles, and the hairnets, and the crescentshaped ornaments,

lesserot@Isaiah:3:19 @ The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

lesserot@Isaiah:3:20 @ The bonnets, and the footchains, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

lesserot@Isaiah:3:21 @ The fingerrings, and nosejewels,

lesserot@Isaiah:3:22 @ The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:23 @ The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:24 @ And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:25 @ Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.

lesserot@Isaiah:3:26 @ And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.

lesserot@Isaiah:4:1 @ And seven women shall take hold of one man on that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take but away our reproach.
