Isaiah 1

1
1#Isa 2:1; Nu 12:6The 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.
The Wickedness of Judah
2#Mic 1:2; Dt 32:1 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth.
For the Lord has spoken:
I have nourished and brought up children,
and they have rebelled against Me;
3#Jer 8:7; Isa 44:18 the ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master’s crib,
but Israel does not know;
My people do not consider.
4#Isa 5:24; 5:19 Alas, sinful nation,
a people laden with iniquity,
a brood of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger,
they are estranged and backward.
5#Isa 9:13; 31:6 Why should you be beaten again,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
6#Jer 6:14; Mt 9:12 From the sole of the foot even to the head
there is no soundness in it.
Wounds, bruises,
and open sores;
they have not been closed,
nor bandaged, nor soothed with oil.
7#Lev 26:34; Isa 6:11 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#Isa 10:32; Job 27:18 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#Ge 19:24; Ro 9:29 Unless the Lord of Hosts
had left to us a very small remnant,
we would have been as Sodom;
we would have been like Gomorrah.
10#Rev 11:8; Dt 32:32 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of Sodom;
listen to the law of our God,
you people of Gomorrah:
11#Jer 6:20; 1Sa 15:22 For what purpose is the multitude
of your sacrifices to Me? says the Lord.
I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed animals.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of male goats.
12#Ex 23:17; 34:23 When you come to appear before Me,
who has required this at your hand,
to trample My courts?
13#Isa 66:3; 1Ch 23:31 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to Me.
New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations—
I cannot bear with evil assemblies.
14#Isa 43:24 My soul hates
your New Moons and your appointed feasts;
they are a burden to Me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15#Isa 59:2–3; Mic 3:4 When you reach out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
even when you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
16#Ps 26:6; 1Pe 3:11 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
put away the evil from your deeds, from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
17#Jer 22:3; Zep 2:3 learn to do good; seek justice,
relieve the oppressed;
judge the fatherless,
plead for the widow.
18#Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14 Come now, and let us reason together,
says the Lord.
Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.
19#Dt 30:15–16 If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20#Isa 40:5; 58:14 but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be devoured with the sword;
for the mouth of the Lord has spokenit.
The Degenerate City
21How the faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice;
righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
22Your silver has become dross,
your wine mixed with water.
23#Ex 23:8; Mic 7:3 Your princes are rebellious
and companions of thieves;
everyone loves a bribe
and follows after rewards.
They do not defend the fatherless,
nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24#Dt 28:63; Isa 49:26 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,
the Mighty One of Israel, says:
Ah, I will get relief from My adversaries,
and avenge Myself on My enemies.
25#Mal 3:3 And I will turn My hand against you,
thoroughly purge away your dross,
and take away all your impurities.
26#Jer 33:7; Zec 8:3 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.
27Zion shall be redeemed with justice
and her converts with righteousness.
28#Job 31:3; Ps 1:6 But the destruction of the transgressors and sinners shall be together,
and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29#Isa 57:5; 65:3 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks
which you have desired,
and you shall be humiliated for the gardens
that you have chosen.
30For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water.
31#Isa 66:24 The strong shall be as tinder,
and his work like a spark;
they will both burn together,
and no one will quench them.
