Isaiah 1:1, 10-20
1The 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.
2Hear, heavens, And listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.
3The ox knows his owner, And the donkey his master`s crib; But Israel doesn`t know, My people don`t consider.
4Ah sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A seed of evil-doers, Children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
5Why should you be beaten more, That you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint.
6From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: Wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven`t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
7Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, And it is desolate, As overthrown by strangers.
8The daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.
9Unless Yahweh of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, We would have been as Sodom; We would have been like Gomorrah.
10Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom. Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.
11What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?, says Yahweh. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, And the fat of fed animals. I don`t delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs, Or of male goats.
12When you come to appear before me, Who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
13Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can`t bear with evil assemblies.
14My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18Come now, and let us reason together, says Yahweh: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
20but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
