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.
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,


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.
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,


3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.


4 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.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.


5 ¶ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.


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.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:


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.
7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.


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.
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.


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.
9 ¶ The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.


10 ¶ Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.


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.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.


12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
12 ¶ As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.


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.
13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.


14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.


15 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.
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.


16 ¶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
16 ¶ Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:


17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.


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.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,


19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,


20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,


21 ¶ How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
21 The rings, and nose jewels,


22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,


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.
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils.


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:
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.


25 ¶ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.


26 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.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
 
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.
 
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
 
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
 
31 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.
