Book 23 Isaiah
23:001:001 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.
23:001:002 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.
23:001:003 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
23:001:004 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
23:001:005 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
23:001:006 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.
23:001:007 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.
23:001:008 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.
23:001:009 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.
23:001:010 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
23:001:011 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.
23:001:012 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
23:001:013 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.
23:001:014 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
23:001:015 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
23:001:016 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
23:001:017 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
23:001:018 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.
23:001:019 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
23:001:020 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
23:001:021 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
23:001:022 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23:001:023 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.
23:001:024 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:
23:001:025 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
23:001:026 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
23:001:027 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
23:001:028 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
23:001:029 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
23:001:030 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
23:001:031 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
23:002:001 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
23:002:002 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
23:002:003 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
23:002:004 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
23:002:005 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
23:002:006 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
23:002:007 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
23:002:008 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
23:002:009 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
23:002:010 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
23:002:011 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
23:002:012 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
23:002:013 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
23:002:014 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
23:002:015 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
23:002:016 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
23:002:017 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
23:002:018 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
23:002:019 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
23:002:020 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
23:002:021 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
23:002:022 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is
