Isaiah
1:1 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.
Isaiah
1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for YASHUWAH has spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
Isaiah
1:3 The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know, my people does not consider.
Isaiah
1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken YASHUWAH, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
Isaiah
1:5 Why should you* be stricken any more? you* will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Isaiah
1:6 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.
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.
Isaiah
1:8 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.
Isaiah
1:9 Except YASHUWAH of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Isaiah
1:10 Hear the word of YASHUWAH, you* rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our Elohim, you* people of Gomorrah.
Isaiah
1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your* sacrifices unto me? says YASHUWAH: 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.
Isaiah
1:12 When you* come to appear before me, who has required this at your* hand, to tread my courts?
Isaiah
1:13 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.
Isaiah
1:14 your* new moons and your* appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
Isaiah
1:15 And when you* spread forth your* hands, I will hide mine eyes from you*: yea, when you* make many prayers, I will not hear: your* hands are full of blood.
Isaiah
1:16 Wash you*, make you* clean; put away the evil of your* doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Isaiah
1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Isaiah
1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, says YASHUWAH: though your* sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah
1:19 If you* be willing and obedient, you* shall eat the good of the land:
Isaiah
1:20 But if you* refuse and rebel, you* shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of YASHUWAH has spoken it.
Isaiah
1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Isaiah
1:22 Your silver is become dross, your wine mixed with water:
Isaiah
1:23 Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loves gifts, and follows after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come unto them.
Isaiah
1:24 Therefore says YASHUWAH, YASHUWAH of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
Isaiah
1:25 And I will turn my hand upon you, and purely purge away your dross, and take away all your tin:
Isaiah
1:26 And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning: afterward you shall be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Isaiah
1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
Isaiah
1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake YASHUWAH shall be consumed.
Isaiah
1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you* have desired, and you* shall be confounded for the gardens that you* have chosen.
Isaiah
1:30 For you* shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
Isaiah
1:31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
