Isaiah 1:2-20

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O heavens
<08064>_,
and give ear
<0238> (8685)_,
O earth
<0776>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
I have nourished
<01431> (8765)
and brought up
<07311> (8790)
children
<01121>_,
and they have rebelled
<06586> (8804)
against me.
The ox
<07794>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
his owner
<07069> (8802)_,
and the ass
<02543>
his master's
<01167>
crib
<018>_:
[but] Israel
<03478>
doth not know
<03045> (8804)_,
my people
<05971>
doth not consider
<0995> (8712)_.
Ah
<01945>
sinful
<02398> (8802)
nation
<01471>_,
a people
<05971>
laden
<03515>
with iniquity
<05771>_,
a seed
<02233>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_,
children
<01121>
that are corrupters
<07843> (8688)_:
they have forsaken
<05800> (8804) <0853>
the LORD
<03068>_,
they have provoked
<05006> (0) <0853>
the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>
unto anger
<05006> (8765)_,
they are gone away
<02114> (8738)
backward
<0268>_.
{laden: Heb. of heaviness} {gone...: Heb. alienated, or, separated}
Why should ye be stricken
<05221> (8714)
any more? ye will revolt
<05627>
more and more
<03254> (8686)_:
the whole head
<07218>
is sick
<02483>_,
and the whole heart
<03824>
faint
<01742>_.
{revolt...: Heb. increase revolt}
From the sole
<03709>
of the foot
<07272>
even unto the head
<07218>
[there is] no soundness
<04974>
in it; [but] wounds
<06482>_,
and bruises
<02250>_,
and putrifying
<02961>
sores
<04347>_:
they have not been closed
<02115> (8804)_,
neither bound up
<02280> (8795)_,
neither mollified
<07401> (8795)
with ointment
<08081>_.
{ointment: or, oil}
Your country
<0776>
[is] desolate
<08077>_,
your cities
<05892>
[are] burned
<08313> (8803)
with fire
<0784>_:
your land
<0127>_,
strangers
<02114> (8801)
devour
<0398> (8802)
it in your presence, and [it is] desolate
<08077>_,
as overthrown
<04114>
by strangers
<02114> (8801)_.
{overthrown...: Heb. the overthrow of}
And the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>
is left
<03498> (8738)
as a cottage
<05521>
in a vineyard
<03754>_,
as a lodge
<04412>
in a garden of cucumbers
<04750>_,
as a besieged
<05341> (8803)
city
<05892>_.
Except
<03884>
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
had left
<03498> (8689)
unto us a very small
<04592>
remnant
<08300>_,
we should have been
<01961> (8804)
as Sodom
<05467>_,
[and] we should have been like
<01819> (8804)
unto Gomorrah
<06017>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
ye rulers
<07101>
of Sodom
<05467>_;
give ear
<0238> (8685)
unto the law
<08451>
of our God
<0430>_,
ye people
<05971>
of Gomorrah
<06017>_.
To what
<04100>
purpose [is] the multitude
<07230>
of your sacrifices
<02077>
unto me? saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
I am full
<07646> (8804)
of the burnt offerings
<05930>
of rams
<0352>_,
and the fat
<02459>
of fed beasts
<04806>_;
and I delight
<02654> (8804)
not in the blood
<01818>
of bullocks
<06499>_,
or of lambs
<03532>_,
or of he goats
<06260>_.
{he goats: Heb. great he goats}
When ye come
<0935> (8799)
to appear
<07200> (8736)
before
<06440>
me, who hath required
<01245> (8765)
this at your hand
<03027>_,
to tread
<07429> (8800)
my courts
<02691>_?
{to appear: Heb. to be seen}
Bring
<0935> (8687)
no more
<03254> (8686)
vain
<07723>
oblations
<04503>_;
incense
<07004>
is an abomination
<08441>
unto me; the new moons
<02320>
and sabbaths
<07676>_,
the calling
<07121> (8800)
of assemblies
<04744>_,
I cannot away with
<03201> (8799)_;
[it is] iniquity
<0205>_,
even the solemn meeting
<06116>_.
{iniquity: or, grief}
Your new moons
<02320>
and your appointed feasts
<04150>
my soul
<05315>
hateth
<08130> (8804)_:
they are a trouble
<02960>
unto me; I am weary
<03811> (8738)
to bear
<05375> (8800)
[them].
And when ye spread forth
<06566> (8763)
your hands
<03709>_,
I will hide
<05956> (8686)
mine eyes
<05869>
from you: yea, when ye make many
<07235> (8686)
prayers
<08605>_,
I will not hear
<08085> (8802)_:
your hands
<03027>
are full
<04390> (8804)
of blood
<01818>_.
{make...: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
Wash
<07364> (8798)
you, make you clean
<02135> (8690)_;
put away
<05493> (8685)
the evil
<07455>
of your doings
<04611>
from before
<05048>
mine eyes
<05869>_;
cease
<02308> (8798)
to do evil
<07489> (8687)_;
Learn
<03925> (8798)
to do well
<03190> (8687)_;
seek
<01875> (8798)
judgment
<04941>_,
relieve
<0833> (8761)
the oppressed
<02541>_,
judge
<08199> (8798)
the fatherless
<03490>_,
plead
<07378> (8798)
for the widow
<0490>_.
{relieve: or, righten}
Come now
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us reason together
<03198> (8735)_,
saith
<0559> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
though your sins
<02399>
be as scarlet
<08144>_,
they shall be as white
<03835> (8686)
as snow
<07950>_;
though they be red
<0119> (8686)
like crimson
<08438>_,
they shall be as wool
<06785>_.
If ye be willing
<014> (8799)
and obedient
<08085> (8804)_,
ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the good
<02898>
of the land
<0776>_:
But if ye refuse
<03985> (8762)
and rebel
<04784> (8804)_,
ye shall be devoured
<0398> (8792)
with the sword
<02719>_:
for the mouth
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it].
