- 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. (Num. 12:6; II Chr. 26 - 32)
- Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O
earth! For the Lord
has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, and they
have rebelled against Me; (Ps.
50:4; Jer. 2:12)
- The ox knows its owner and the
donkey its master's crib; (Jer. 8:7) but Israel does not
know, My people do not consider."
- Alas, sinful nation, a people laden
with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord, (Matt. 3:7) they have provoked
to anger the Holy One of Israel, they have turned away backward.
- Why should you be stricken
again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is
sick, (Jer. 5:3) and the whole heart faints.
- From the sole of the foot even to
the head, there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and
petrifying sores; they have not been closed or bound up, or soothed
with ointment. (Job 2:7)
- Your
- So the daughter of Zion is left as
a booth in a vineyard,
(Job 27:18)
as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. (Jer.
4:17)
- Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, (Gen. 19:24; Lam. 3:22) we would have been made like Gomorrah.
- Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, (Deut. 32:32; Ezek. 16:46) you people of Gomorrah:
- "To what purpose is the multitude
of your sacrifices to Me? Says the Lord.
"I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed
cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls (1 Sam. 15:22), or of
lams or goats. (Prov. 15:8; Mal. 1:10)
- "When you come to appear before
Me,
who has required this
from your hand, to trample My courts? (Ex. 23:17)
- Bring

- When you spread out your hands, I
will hide My eyes from you (Job 35:13;
Ps. 66:18; Prov. 1:28); even though
you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of
blood. (Prov. 6:17;
Mic. 3:4)
- "Wash yourselves,
- Learn to do good;
- Come now, and let us reason
together,"
says the Lord,
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though
they are red like crimson (Is. 43:26; Ps. 51:7), they shall
be as wool.
- If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land; (Job
36:11)
- But if you refuse and rebel, you
shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has
spoken. (Titus 1:2)
