Rebellion of God's People

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:1 - The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the [fn]reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:2 - Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth;
For the LORD speaks,
“Sons I have reared and brought up,
But they have revolted against Me.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:3 - “An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel does not know,
My people do not understand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:4 - Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,
[fn]Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the LORD,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [fn]from Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:5 - Where will you be stricken again,
As you continue in your rebellion?
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:6 - From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is nothing sound in it,
Only bruises, welts and raw wounds,
Not pressed out or bandaged,
Nor softened with oil.

Your cities are burned with fire,
Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your presence;
It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:8 - The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

Had left us a few survivors,
We would be like Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.

Give ear to the instruction of our God,
You people of Gomorrah.

And the fat of fed cattle;

Who requires [fn]of you this trampling of My courts?

New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies
I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.

They have become a burden to Me;
I am weary of bearing them.

Yes, even though you multiply prayers,
I will not listen.
Your hands are [fn]covered with blood.

Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight.
Cease to do evil,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:17 - Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
[fn]Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow.

"Let Us Reason"

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:18 - “Come now, and let us reason together,”

“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.

You will eat the best of the land;

You will be devoured by the sword.”

But now murderers.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:22 - Your silver has become dross,
Your drink diluted with water.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:23 - Your rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves a bribe
And chases after rewards.
They do not [fn]defend the [fn]orphan,
Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:24 - Therefore the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts,
The Mighty One of Israel, declares,
“Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries
And avenge Myself on My foes.

And will smelt away your dross as with lye
And will remove all your alloy.

A faithful city.”

Or as a garden that has no water.

His work also a spark.
Thus they shall both burn together
And there will be none to quench them.
