  • 1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
  • 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: "Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.
  • 3 The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand."
  • 4 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged.
  • 5 Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
  • 6 From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil.
  • 7 Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
  • 8 And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
  • 9 If the Lord of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah.
  • 10 Hear the word of the Lord , you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
  • 11 "What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.
  • 12 "When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts?
  • 13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations— I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly.
  • 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.
  • 15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
  • 16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
  • 17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
  • 18 "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord : though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
  • 19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
  • 20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken."
  • 21 How the faithful city has become a whore, she who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
  • 22 Your silver has become dross, your best wine mixed with water.
  • 23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not bring justice to the fatherless, and the widow's cause does not come to them.
  • 24 Therefore the Lord declares, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: "Ah, I will get relief from my enemies and avenge myself on my foes.
  • 25 I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy.
  • 26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city."
  • 27 Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness.
  • 28 But rebels and sinners shall be broken together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
  • 29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks that you desired; and you shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen.
  • 30 For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water.
  • 31 And the strong shall become tinder, and his work a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with none to quench them.
