Isaiah:1:5-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why should ye be stricken any more ?
ye will revolt more and more :
the whole head is sick ,
and the whole heart faint .
*
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it ;
but wounds ,
and bruises ,
and putrifying sores :
they have not been closed ,
neither bound up ,
neither mollified with ointment .
*
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 .
*
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard ,
as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers ,
as a besieged city .
*
Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant ,
we should have been as Sodom ,
and we should have been like unto Gomorrah .
*
Hear the word of the LORD ,
ye rulers of Sodom ;
give ear unto the law of our God ,
ye people of Gomorrah .
*
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me ?
saith the LORD :
I am full 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 .
*
When ye come to appear before me ,
who hath required this at your hand ,
to tread my courts ?
*
Bring no more vain oblations ;
incense is an abomination unto me ;
the new moons and sabbaths ,
the calling of assemblies ,
I cannot away with ;
it is iniquity ,
even the solemn meeting .
*
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth :
they are a trouble unto me ;
I am weary to bear them .
*
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 .
