# Isaiah 1 (New King James Version)
Judah Called to Repentance
##### Chapter 1
###### 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.The Wickedness of Judah
###### 2 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;
###### 3 The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master's crib;
_But_ Israel does not know,
My people do not consider."
###### 4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people laden with iniquity,
A brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.
###### 5 Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
###### 6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
_There is_ no soundness in it,
_But_ wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
###### 7 Your country _is_ desolate,
Your cities _are_ burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And _it is_ desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
###### 8 So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
As a besieged city.
###### 9 Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
###### 10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
###### 11 "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,
Or of lambs or goats.
###### 12 "When you come to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
###### 13 Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies--
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
###### 14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing _them._
###### 15 When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
###### 16 "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
###### 17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
###### 18 "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,
They shall be as wool.
###### 19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
###### 20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword";
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.The Degenerate City
###### 21 How the faithful city has become a harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now murderers.
###### 22 Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
###### 23 Your princes _are_ rebellious,
And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
###### 24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
"Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries,
And take vengeance on My enemies.
###### 25 I will turn My hand against you,
And thoroughly purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
###### 26 I will restore your judges as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city."
###### 27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her penitents with righteousness.
###### 28 The destruction of transgressors and of sinners _shall be_ together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
###### 29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
###### 30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
###### 31 The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall quench _them._
