Isaiah 1:1
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.
Isaiah 1:2 Hear, O heavens,
and give ear, O earth: For
the LORD hath spoken,
“I have nourished
and brought up
children, And they
have rebelled against
me.”
vs 3 The Ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his
master’s crib: But Israel (My Rebellious
Children) doth not know, My people doth not
consider.
vs 4 Ah
(They are, I am part of a) sinful nation,
(They are, I am part of ) a people laden with
iniquity,
(They are, I am part of ) A seed of evildoers,
(They are, I am a) children that are corrupters:
(They, I have) They have forsaken the LORD,
(They, I have) They have provoked the Holy One
of Israel unto anger,
(They, I have) They are gone away backward.
vs 5 Why should ye be stricken any more? Ye
will revolt more and more: The whole head is
sick, and the whole heart faint.
vs 6 From the sole of the foot even unto the
head there is no soundness in it; But wounds,
and bruises, and putrifying sores: They have
not been closed, neither bound up, neither
mollified with ointment.
vs 7 Your country is desolate, Your cities are
burned with fire: Your land, strangers devour it
in your presence, And it is desolate, as
overthrown by strangers.
vs 8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a
cottage in a vineyard, As a lodge in a garden of
cucumbers, As a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left
unto us a very small remnant,We
should have been as Sodom,
And we should have been like unto
Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers
of Sodom;Give ear unto the law of our
God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices
unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt
offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; And I
delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of
he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me,
Who hath required this at your hand, to tread my
courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an
abomination unto me;
The new moons and sabbaths, the calling of
assemblies, I cannot away with; It is iniquity, even the
solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my
soul hateth:
They are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide
mine eyes from you: Yea, when ye make many
16 Wash you, make you clean; put
away the evil of your doings from
before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; Seek judgment,
relieve the oppressed,Judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together,
saith 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 If ye be willing and obedient, (THEN) ye
shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, (THEN) Ye
shall be devoured with the sword: For the
mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an
harlot! It was full of judgment;
righteousness lodged in it; But now
murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross,Thy
wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and
companions of thieves: Every one
loveth gifts, and followeth after
rewards: They judge not the
fatherless, Neither doth the cause of
the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the
mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine
adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, And purely
purge away thy dross, And take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, And thy
counsellers as at the beginning:
Afterward thou shalt be called, The city of
righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, And her
converts with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the
sinners shall be together, And they that forsake the
Lord shall be consumed.
