Dual Panel1The vision <02377> of Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531>_, which he saw <02372> (8804) concerning Judah <03063> and Jerusalem <03389> in the days <03117> of Uzziah <05818>_, Jotham <03147>_, Ahaz <0271>_, [and] Hezekiah <03169>_, kings <04428> of Judah <03063>_.
2Hear <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.
3The 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)_.
4Ah <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}
5Why 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}
6From 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}
7Your 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}
8And 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>_.
9Except <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>_.
10Hear <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>_.
11To 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}
12When 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}
13Bring <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}
14Your 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].
15And 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}
16Wash <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)_;
17Learn <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}
18Come 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>_.
19If ye be willing <014> (8799) and obedient <08085> (8804)_, ye shall eat <0398> (8799) the good <02898> of the land <0776>_:
20But 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].
21How is the faithful <0539> (8737) city <07151> become an harlot <02181> (8802)_! it was full <04392> of judgment <04941>_; righteousness <06664> lodged <03885> (8799) in it; but now murderers <07523> (8764)_.
22Thy silver <03701> is become dross <05509>_, thy wine <05435> mixed <04107> (8803) with water <04325>_:
23Thy princes <08269> [are] rebellious <05637> (8802)_, and companions <02270> of thieves <01590>_: every one loveth <0157> (8802) gifts <07810>_, and followeth <07291> (8802) after rewards <08021>_: they judge <08199> (8799) not the fatherless <03490>_, neither doth the cause <07379> of the widow <0490> come <0935> (8799) unto them.
24Therefore saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0113>_, the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, the mighty One <046> of Israel <03478>_, Ah <01945>_, I will ease <05162> (8735) me of mine adversaries <06862>_, and avenge <05358> (8735) me of mine enemies <0341> (8802)_:
25And I will turn <07725> (8686) my hand <03027> upon thee, and purely <01253> purge away <06884> (8799) thy dross <05509>_, and take away <05493> (8686) all thy tin <0913>_: {purely: Heb. according to pureness}
26And I will restore <07725> (8686) thy judges <08199> (8802) as at the first <07223>_, and thy counsellors <03289> (8802) as at the beginning <08462>_: afterward <0310> thou shalt be called <07121> (8735)_, The city <05892> of righteousness <06664>_, the faithful <0539> (8737) city <07151>_.
27Zion <06726> shall be redeemed <06299> (8735) with judgment <04941>_, and her converts <07725> (8802) with righteousness <06666>_. {her...: or, they that return of her}
28And the destruction <07667> of the transgressors <06586> (8802) and of the sinners <02400> [shall be] together <03162>_, and they that forsake <05800> (8802) the LORD <03068> shall be consumed <03615> (8799)_. {destruction: Heb. breaking}
29For they shall be ashamed <0954> (8799) of the oaks <0352> which ye have desired <02530> (8804)_, and ye shall be confounded <02659> (8799) for the gardens <01593> that ye have chosen <0977> (8804)_.
30For ye shall be as an oak <0424> whose leaf <05929> fadeth <05034> (8802)_, and as a garden <01593> that hath no water <04325>_.
31And the strong <02634> shall be as tow <05296>_, and the maker <06467> of it as a spark <05213>_, and they shall both <08147> burn <01197> (8804) together <03162>_, and none shall quench <03518> (8764) [them]. {maker...: or, and his work}
