[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, heavens,
and listen, earth; for Yahweh§ has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children
and they have rebelled against me.
[3] The ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master’s crib;
but Israel doesn’t know.
My people don’t consider.”
[4] Ah sinful nation,
a people loaded with iniquity,
offspring§ of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken Yahweh.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.
[5] Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
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 wounds, welts, and open sores.
They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
[7] Your country is desolate.
Your cities are burned with fire.
Strangers devour your land in your presence
and it is desolate,
as overthrown by strangers.
[8] The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut in a field of melons,
like a besieged city.
[9] Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant,
we would have been as Sodom.
We would have been like Gomorrah. [10] Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom!
Listen to the law of our God,§ you people of Gomorrah!
[11] “What 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.
[12] When you come to appear before me,
who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
[13] Bring no more vain offerings.
Incense is an abomination to me.
New moons, Sabbaths, and convocations—
I can’t stand evil assemblies.
[14] My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts.
They are a burden to me.
I am weary of bearing them.
[15] When you spread out 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.
[16] Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean.
Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.
Cease to do evil.
[17] Learn to do well.
Seek justice.
Relieve the oppressed.
Defend the fatherless.
Plead for the widow.” [18] “Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh:
“Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
[19] If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good of the land;
[20] but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword;
for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.” [21] How the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice.
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now there are murderers.
[22] Your silver has become dross,
your wine mixed with water.
[23] Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards.
They don’t defend the fatherless,
neither does the cause of the widow come to them. [24] Therefore the Lord,§ Yahweh of Armies,
the Mighty One of Israel, says:
“Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries,
and avenge myself on my enemies.
[25] I will turn my hand on you,
thoroughly purge away your dross,
and will take away all your tin.ⓘ
[26] 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,
a faithful town.’
[27] Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
and her converts with righteousness.
[28] But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together,
and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
[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.
[30] For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water.
[31] The strong will be like tinder,
and his work like a spark.
They will both burn together,
and no one will quench them.”

[3] The oxH7794 knowethH3045(QalPerf) his owner,H7069(QalActPtc) and the assH2543 his master’sH1167 crib:H18 [but] IsraelH3478 doth not know,H3045(QalPerf) my peopleH5971 doth not consider.H995(HiplPerf) [4] AhH1945 sinfulH2398(QalActPtc) nation,H1471 a peopleH5971 ladenH3515 with iniquity,H5771 a seedH2233 of evildoers,H7489(HiphPtc) childrenH1121 that are corrupters:H7843(HiphPtc) they have forsakenH5800(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 they have provokedH5006 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 unto anger,H5006(PielPerf) they are gone awayH2114(NiphPerf) backward.H268 [5] Why should ye be strickenH5221(HophImpf) any more? ye will revoltH5627 more and more:H3254(HiphImpf) the whole headH7218 is sick,H2483 and the whole heartH3824 faint.H1742 [6] From the soleH3709 of the footH7272 even unto the headH7218 [there is] no soundnessH4974 in it; [but] wounds,H6482 and bruises,H2250 and putrifyingH2961 sores:H4347 they have not been closed,H2115(QalPerf) neither bound up,H2280(PualPerf) neither mollifiedH7401(PualPerf) with ointment.H8081 [7] Your countryH776 [is] desolate,H8077 your citiesH5892 [are] burnedH8313(QalPasPtc) with fire:H784 your land,H127 strangersH2114(QalPtc) devourH398(QalActPtc) it in your presence, and [it is] desolate,H8077 as overthrownH4114 by strangers.H2114(QalPtc) [8] And the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726 is leftH3498(NiphPerf) as a cottageH5521 in a vineyard,H3754 as a lodgeH4412 in a garden of cucumbers,H4750 as a besiegedH5341(QalPasPtc) city.H5892 [9] ExceptH3884 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 had leftH3498(HiphPerf) unto us a very smallH4592 remnant,H8300 we should have beenH1961(QalPerf) as Sodom,H5467 [and] we should have been likeH1819(QalPerf) unto Gomorrah.H6017 [10] HearH8085(QalImpv) the wordH1697 of the Lord,H3068 ye rulersH7101 of Sodom;H5467 give earH238(HiphImpv) unto the lawH8451 of our God,H430 ye peopleH5971 of Gomorrah.H6017 [11] To whatH4100 purpose [is] the multitudeH7230 of your sacrificesH2077 unto me? saithH559(QalImpf) the Lord:H3068 I am fullH7646(QalPerf) of the burnt offeringsH5930 of rams,H352 and the fatH2459 of fed beasts;H4806 and I delightH2654(QalPerf) not in the bloodH1818 of bullocks,H6499 or of lambs,H3532 or of he goats.H6260 [12] When ye comeH935(QalImpf) to appearH7200(NiphInf) beforeH6440 me, who hath requiredH1245(PielPerf) this at your hand,H3027 to treadH7429(QalInf) my courts?H2691 [13] BringH935(HiphInf) no moreH3254(HiphImpf) vainH7723 oblations;H4503 incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbaths,H7676 the callingH7121(QalInf) of assemblies,H4744 I cannot away with;H3201(QalImpf) [it is] iniquity,H205 even the solemn meeting.H6116 [14] Your new moonsH2320 and your appointed feastsH4150 my soulH5315 hateth:H8130(QalPerf) they are a troubleH2960 unto me; I am wearyH3811(NiphPerf) to bearH5375(QalInf) [them]. [15] And when ye spread forthH6566(PielInf) your hands,H3709 I will hideH5956(HiphImpf) mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235(HiphImpf) prayers,H8605 I will not hear:H8085(QalActPtc) your handsH3027 are fullH4390(QalPerf) of blood.H1818 [16] WashH7364(QalImpv) you, make you clean;H2135(HithImpv) put awayH5493(HiphImpv) the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyes;H5869 ceaseH2308(QalImpv) to do evil;H7489(HiphInf) [17] LearnH3925(QalImpv) to do well;H3190(HiphInf) seekH1875(QalImpv) judgment,H4941 relieveH833(PielImpv) the oppressed,H2541 judgeH8199(QalImpv) the fatherless,H3490 pleadH7378(QalImpv) for the widow.H490 [18] Come now,H3212(QalImpv) and let us reason together,H3198(NiphImpf) saithH559(QalImpf) the Lord:H3068 though your sinsH2399 be as scarlet,H8144 they shall be as whiteH3835(HiphImpf) as snow;H7950 though they be redH119(HiphImpf) like crimson,H8438 they shall be as wool.H6785 [19] If ye be willingH14(QalImpf) and obedient,H8085(QalPerf) ye shall eatH398(QalImpf) the goodH2898 of the land:H776 [20] But if ye refuseH3985(PielImpf) and rebel,H4784(QalPerf) ye shall be devouredH398(PualImpf) with the sword:H2719 for the mouthH6310 of the LordH3068 hath spokenH1696(PielPerf) [it]. [21] How is the faithfulH539(NiphPtc) cityH7151 become an harlot!H2181(QalActPtc) it was fullH4392 of judgment;H4941 righteousnessH6664 lodgedH3885(QalImpf) in it; but now murderers.H7523(PielPtc) [22] Thy silverH3701 is become dross,H5509 thy wineH5435 mixedH4107(QalPasPtc) with water:H4325 [23] Thy princesH8269 [are] rebellious,H5637(QalActPtc) and companionsH2270 of thieves:H1590 every one lovethH157(QalActPtc) gifts,H7810 and followethH7291(QalActPtc) after rewards:H8021 they judgeH8199(QalImpf) not the fatherless,H3490 neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935(QalImpf) unto them. [24] Therefore saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H113 the LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 the mighty OneH46 of Israel,H3478 Ah,H1945 I will easeH5162(NiphImpf) me of mine adversaries,H6862 and avengeH5358(NiphImpf) me of mine enemies:H341(QalActPtc) [25] And I will turnH7725(HiphImpf) my handH3027 upon thee, and purelyH1253 purge awayH6884(QalImpf) thy dross,H5509 and take awayH5493(HiphImpf) all thy tin:H913 [26] And I will restoreH7725(HiphImpf) thy judgesH8199(QalActPtc) as at the first,H7223 and thy counsellorsH3289(QalActPtc) as at the beginning:H8462 afterwardH310 thou shalt be called,H7121(NiphImpf) The cityH5892 of righteousness,H6664 the faithfulH539(NiphPtc) city.H7151 [27] ZionH6726 shall be redeemedH6299(NiphImpf) with judgment,H4941 and her convertsH7725(QalActPtc) with righteousness.H6666 [28] And the destructionH7667 of the transgressorsH6586(QalActPtc) and of the sinnersH2400 [shall be] together,H3162 and they that forsakeH5800(QalActPtc) the LordH3068 shall be consumed.H3615(QalImpf) [29] For they shall be ashamedH954(QalImpf) of the oaksH352 which ye have desired,H2530(QalPerf) and ye shall be confoundedH2659(QalImpf) for the gardensH1593 that ye have chosen.H977(QalPerf) [30] For ye shall be as an oakH424 whose leafH5929 fadeth,H5034(QalActPtc) and as a gardenH1593 that hath no water.H4325 [31] And the strongH2634 shall be as tow,H5296 and the makerH6467 of it as a spark,H5213 and they shall bothH8147 burnH1197(QalPerf) together,H3162 and none shall quenchH3518(PielPtc) [them].
