Isaiah:1:2 @
Hear ,
O heavens ,
and give ear ,
O earth ;
for Jehovah hath spoken :
I have nourished and brought up children ,
and they have rebelled against me .
asv @
Isaiah:1:3 @
The ox knoweth his owner ,
and the ass his master '
s crib ;
but Israel doth not know ,
my people doth not consider .
asv @
Isaiah:1:4 @
Ah sinful nation ,
a people laden with iniquity ,
a seed of evil-doers ,
children that deal corruptly !
they have forsaken Jehovah ,
they have despised the Holy One of Israel ,
they are estranged and gone backward .
asv @
Isaiah:1:5 @
Why will ye be still stricken ,
that ye revolt more and more ?
the whole head is sick ,
and the whole heart faint .
asv @
Isaiah:1:6 @
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it ;
but wounds ,
and bruises ,
and fresh stripes :
they have not been closed ,
neither bound up ,
neither mollified with oil .
asv @
Isaiah:1:7 @
Your 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 .
asv @
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 .
asv @
Isaiah:1:9 @
Except Jehovah of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant ,
we should have been as Sodom ,
we should have been like unto Gomorrah .
asv @
Isaiah:1:10 @
Hear the word of Jehovah ,
ye rulers of Sodom ;
give ear unto the law of our God ,
ye people of Gomorrah .
asv @
Isaiah:1:11 @
What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices ?
saith Jehovah :
I have had enough 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 .
asv @
Isaiah:1:12 @
When ye come to appear before me ,
who hath required this at your hand ,
to trample my courts ?
asv @
Isaiah:1:13 @
Bring no more vain oblations ;
incense is an abomination unto me ;
new moon and sabbath ,
the calling of assemblies ,-
I cannot away with iniquity and the solemn meeting .
asv @
Isaiah:1:14 @
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth ;
they are a trouble unto me ;
I am weary of bearing them .
asv @
Isaiah:1:15 @
And 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 .
asv @
Isaiah:1:16 @
Wash you ,
make you clean ;
put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes ;
cease to do evil ;
asv @
Isaiah:1:17 @
learn to do well ;
seek justice ,
relieve the oppressed ,
judge the fatherless ,
plead for the widow .
asv @
Isaiah:1:18 @
Come now ,
and let us reason together ,
saith Jehovah :
though your sins be as scarlet ,
they shall be as white as snow ;
though they be red like crimson ,
they shall be as wool .
asv @
Isaiah:1:19 @
If ye be willing and obedient ,
ye shall eat the good of the land :
asv @
Isaiah:1:20 @
but if ye refuse and rebel ,
ye shall be devoured with the sword ;
for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it .
asv @
Isaiah:1:21 @
How is the faithful city become a harlot !
she that was full of justice !
righteousness lodged in her ,
but now murderers .
asv @
Isaiah:1:22 @
Thy silver is become dross ,
thy wine mixed with water .
asv @
Isaiah:1:23 @
Thy princes are rebellious ,
and companions of thieves ;
every one loveth bribes ,
and followeth after rewards :
they judge not the fatherless ,
neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them .
asv @
Isaiah:1:24 @
Therefore saith the Lord ,
Jehovah of hosts ,
the Mighty One of Israel ,
Ah ,
I will ease me of mine adversaries ,
and avenge me of mine enemies ;
asv @
Isaiah:1:25 @
and I will turn my hand upon thee ,
and thoroughly purge away thy dross ,
and will take away all thy tin ;
asv @
Isaiah:1:26 @
and 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 ,
a faithful town .
asv @
Isaiah:1:27 @
Zion shall be redeemed with justice ,
and her converts with righteousness .
asv @
Isaiah:1:28 @
But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together ,
and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed .
asv @
Isaiah:1:29 @
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired ,
and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen .
asv @
Isaiah:1:30 @
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth ,
and as a garden that hath no water .
asv @
Isaiah:1:31 @
And the strong shall be as tow ,
and his work as a spark ;
and they shall both burn together ,
and none shall quench them .
