1 The vision ( A ) concerning Judah and Jerusalem ( B ) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw ( C ) during the reigns of Uzziah, ( D ) Jotham, ( E ) Ahaz ( F ) and Hezekiah, ( G ) kings of Judah. A Rebellious Nation 2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! ( H ) For the Lord has spoken: ( I ) “I reared children ( J ) and brought them up, but they have rebelled ( K ) against me. 3 The ox knows ( L ) its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, ( M ) but Israel does not know, ( N ) my people do not understand. ( O ) ” 4 Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, ( P ) a brood of evildoers, ( Q ) children given to corruption! ( R ) They have forsaken ( S ) the Lord ; they have spurned the Holy One ( T ) of Israel and turned their backs ( U ) on him. 5 Why should you be beaten ( V ) anymore? Why do you persist ( W ) in rebellion? ( X ) Your whole head is injured, your whole heart ( Y ) afflicted. ( Z ) 6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head ( AA ) there is no soundness ( AB ) — only wounds and welts ( AC ) and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged ( AD ) or soothed with olive oil. ( AE ) 7 Your country is desolate, ( AF ) your cities burned with fire; ( AG ) your fields are being stripped by foreigners ( AH ) right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers. ( AI ) 8 Daughter Zion ( AJ ) is left ( AK ) like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut ( AL ) in a cucumber field, like a city under siege. 9 Unless the Lord Almighty had left us some survivors, ( AM ) we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah. ( AN ) 10 Hear the word of the Lord , ( AO ) you rulers of Sodom; ( AP ) listen to the instruction ( AQ ) of our God, you people of Gomorrah! ( AR ) 11 “The multitude of your sacrifices— what are they to me?” says the Lord . “I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; ( AS ) I have no pleasure ( AT ) in the blood of bulls ( AU ) and lambs and goats. ( AV ) 12 When you come to appear before me, who has asked this of you, ( AW ) this trampling of my courts? 13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings! ( AX ) Your incense ( AY ) is detestable ( AZ ) to me. New Moons, ( BA ) Sabbaths and convocations ( BB ) — I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. 14 Your New Moon ( BC ) feasts and your appointed festivals ( BD ) I hate with all my being. ( BE ) They have become a burden to me; ( BF ) I am weary ( BG ) of bearing them. 15 When you spread out your hands ( BH ) in prayer, I hide ( BI ) my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. ( BJ ) Your hands ( BK ) are full of blood! ( BL ) 16 Wash ( BM ) and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; ( BN ) stop doing wrong. ( BO ) 17 Learn to do right; ( BP ) seek justice. ( BQ ) Defend the oppressed. [ a ] ( BR ) Take up the cause of the fatherless; ( BS ) plead the case of the widow. ( BT ) 18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” ( BU ) says the Lord . “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; ( BV ) though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. ( BW ) 19 If you are willing and obedient, ( BX ) you will eat the good things of the land; ( BY ) 20 but if you resist and rebel, ( BZ ) you will be devoured by the sword.” ( CA ) For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. ( CB ) 21 See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! ( CC ) She once was full of justice; righteousness ( CD ) used to dwell in her— but now murderers! ( CE ) 22 Your silver has become dross, ( CF ) your choice wine is diluted with water. 23 Your rulers are rebels, ( CG ) partners with thieves; ( CH ) they all love bribes ( CI ) and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them. ( CJ ) 24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One ( CK ) of Israel, declares: “Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge ( CL ) myself on my enemies. ( CM ) 25 I will turn my hand against you; [ b ] ( CN ) I will thoroughly purge ( CO ) away your dross ( CP ) and remove all your impurities. ( CQ ) 26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old, ( CR ) your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called ( CS ) the City of Righteousness, ( CT ) the Faithful City. ( CU ) ” 27 Zion will be delivered with justice, her penitent ( CV ) ones with righteousness. ( CW ) 28 But rebels and sinners ( CX ) will both be broken, and those who forsake ( CY ) the Lord will perish. ( CZ ) 29 “You will be ashamed ( DA ) because of the sacred oaks ( DB ) in which you have delighted; you will be disgraced because of the gardens ( DC ) that you have chosen. 30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves, ( DD ) like a garden without water. 31 The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire.
