ULT ISA Chapter 1

◄ ISA 1 ► ║ ═ ©

1 The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Hear, heavens, and listen, earth,

for Yahweh has spoken:

“I have raised and brought up sons,

but they, they have rebelled against me.

3 An ox knows its owner

and a donkey, the manger of its master;

Israel does not know,

my people do not understand.”

4 Woe! A sinning nation,

a people heavy of iniquity,

seed of evildoers,

sons acting corruptly!

They have forsaken Yahweh,

they have despised the Holy One of Israel,

they have turned away backward.

5 On what will you still be struck?

Will you continue rebellion?

The whole head is for sickness,

and the whole heart is faint.

6 From the sole of the foot and up to the head,

there is no soundness in it.

Wound and bruise and raw sore,

they have not been pressed out,

and they have not been bound up,

and they have not been softened with oil.

7 Your land is a desolation,

your cities have been burned with fire.

Your ground, strangers are devouring it before you,

indeed, it is a desolation like the overthrow of strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion is left

like a booth in a vineyard,

like a hut in a cucumber field,

like a besieged city.

9 If Yahweh of Armies

had not left a remnant to us according to a few,

we would have been like Sodom,

we would have compared to Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of Yahweh,

rulers of Sodom!

Listen to the instruction of our God,

people of Gomorrah!

11 “For what is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”

says Yahweh.

“I have enough burnt offerings of rams

and fat of fatlings,

and in the blood of bulls and lambs and male goats

I do not delight.

12 When you come to appear before my face,

who has sought this from your hand,

trampling my courts?

13 Do not continue to bring an offering of worthlessness!

Incense, it is an abomination to me.

New moon and Sabbath, the calling of an assembly --

I am not able to endure wickedness and a solemn gathering.

14 Your new moons and your annual festivals,

my soul hates.

They have become a burden upon me;

I am wearied from bearing them.

15 And when you spread out your palms,

I hide my eyes from you.

Even when you multiply prayer,

I am not listening.

Your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash, cleanse,

remove the evil of your deeds

from before my eyes.

Cease doing evil.

17 Learn to do good,

seek justice,

gladden the oppressed,

judge for the orphan,

plead for the widow.”

18 “Come, now, and let us argue together,”

says Yahweh.

“Though your sins are like scarlet,

they will become white like snow.

Though they are red like crimson,

they will become like wool.

19 If you are willing and you listen,

you will eat the good of the land.

20 But if you refuse and you rebel,

you will be devoured by the sword,”

for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.

21 How the attested city has become a prostitute!

It was full of justice;

righteousness lodged in it;

but now, murderers.

22 Your silver has become dross,

your wine, diluted with water.

23 Your princes are rebels

and companions of thieves;

each of him is loving a bribe

and pursuing rewards.

They do not judge the orphan,

and the case of the widow does not come to them.

24 Therefore—the declaration of the Lord,

Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel:

“Woe! I will be relieved of my adversaries,

and I will be avenged of my enemies.

25 And I will turn my hand against you,

and I will refine your dross as with lye,

and I will remove all of your tin.

26 And I will restore your judges as at the first,

and your counselors, as at the beginning.

After this, it will be called to you

‘City of Righteousness, Attested Settlement.’ ”

27 Zion will be redeemed with justice,

and its repenting ones, with righteousness.

28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners will be together,

and the forsakers of Yahweh will end.

29 For they will have shame from the oaks that you desired,

and you will blush from the gardens that you chose.

30 For you will be like an oak, its leaf withering,

and like a garden that no water is to it.

31 And the strong will become tow,

and his work, a spark,

and the two of them will burn together,

and there will be none extinguishing.
