Isaiah 1:21-4:1
21
How the faithful city
r has become a whore,
s she who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
22
t Your silver has become dross,
your best wine mixed with water.
23
Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone u loves a bribe
and runs after gifts.
v They do not bring justice to the fatherless,
and the widow's cause does not come to them.
24
Therefore the w Lord declares,
the Lord of hosts,
the x Mighty One of Israel:
"Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
y and avenge myself on my foes.
25
z I will turn my hand against you
and will smelt away your a dross as with lye
and remove all your alloy.
26
And I will restore your judges b as at the first,
and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward c you shall be called the city of righteousness,
the faithful city."
27
d Zion shall be redeemed by justice,
and those in her who repent, by righteousness.
28
e But rebels and sinners shall be broken together,
and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29
f For they shall be ashamed of g the oaks
that you desired;
and you shall blush for h the gardens
that you have chosen.
30
For you shall be i like an oak
whose leaf withers,
and like a garden without water.
31
And the strong shall become j tinder,
and his work a spark,
and both of them shall burn together,
with k none to quench them.
Isaiah 2
1
The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2
l It shall come to pass in the latter days
that m the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and n all the nations shall flow to it,
3
and o many peoples shall come, and say:
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths."
For p out of Zion shall go the law,
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4
He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
q and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
r nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
5
O house of Jacob,
come, let us walk
in s the light of the Lord.
6
For you have rejected your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of things t from the east
and u of fortune-tellers v like the Philistines,
and they w strike hands with the children of foreigners.
7
Their land is x filled with silver and gold,
and there is no end to their treasures;
their land is y filled with horses,
and there is no end to their chariots.
8
Their land is z filled with idols;
they bow down to a the work of their hands,
to what their own fingers have made.
9
So man b is humbled,
and each one b is brought low -
do not forgive them!
10
c Enter into the rock
and hide in the dust
d from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty.
11
e The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,
and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
12
f For the Lord of hosts has a day
against all that is proud and lofty,
against all that is lifted up - and it shall be brought low;
13
against all the g cedars of Lebanon,
lofty and lifted up;
and against all the h oaks of Bashan;
14
against all i the lofty mountains,
and against all the uplifted hills;
15
against every high tower,
and against every fortified wall;
16
against all j the ships of Tarshish,
and against all the beautiful craft.
17
k And the haughtiness of man shall be humbled,
and the lofty pride of men shall be brought low,
and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
18
l And the idols shall utterly pass away.
19
m And people shall enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
n when he rises to terrify the earth.
20
In that day o mankind will cast away
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to the moles and to the p bats,
21
m to enter the caverns of the rocks
and the clefts of the cliffs,
from before the terror of the Lord,
and from the splendor of his majesty,
n when he rises to terrify the earth.
22
q Stop regarding man
r in whose nostrils is breath,
for of what account is he?
Isaiah 3
1
For behold, the s Lord God of hosts
is taking away from Jerusalem and from Judah
support and supply,
all t support of bread,
and all support of water;
2
u the mighty man and the soldier,
the judge and the prophet,
the diviner and the elder,
3
the captain of fifty
and the man of rank,
the counselor and the skillful magician
and the expert in charms.
4
v And I will make boys their princes,
and infants shall rule over them.
5
w And the people will oppress one another,
every one his fellow
and every one his neighbor;
the youth will be insolent to the elder,
and the despised to the honorable.
6
For x a man will take hold of his brother
in the house of his father, saying:
"You have a cloak;
you shall be our leader,
and this heap of ruins
shall be under your rule";
7
in that day he will speak out, saying:
"I will not be a y healer;
in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
you shall not make me
leader of the people."
8
For Jerusalem has stumbled,
and Judah has fallen,
because their z speech and their deeds are against the Lord,
a defying his glorious presence.
9
For the look on their faces bears witness against them;
they proclaim their sin b like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
c For they have brought evil on themselves.
10
d Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them,
e for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11
f Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.
12
My people - g infants are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people, h your guides mislead you
and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.
13
The Lord i has taken his place to contend;
he stands to judge peoples.
14
The Lord will enter into judgment
with the j elders and princes of his people:
"It is you who k have devoured the vineyard,
l the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15
What do you mean by m crushing my people,
by grinding the face of the poor?"
declares the Lord God of hosts.
16
The Lord said:
n Because o the daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks,
glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go,
p tinkling with their feet,
17
therefore the Lord q will strike with a scab
the heads of o the daughters of Zion,
and the Lord will lay bare their secret parts.
18
In that day the Lord will take away r the finery of the anklets, the s headbands, and the t crescents;
19
the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves;
20
the u headdresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;
21
the signet rings and v nose rings;
22
the w festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;
23
the mirrors, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
24
Instead of x perfume there will be rottenness;
and instead of a y belt, a rope;
and instead of z well-set hair, a baldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a b skirt of sackcloth;
and c branding instead of beauty.
25
Your men shall fall by the sword
and your mighty men in battle.
26
And d her gates shall lament and mourn;
empty, she shall e sit on the ground.
Isaiah 4
1
f And seven women g shall take hold of f one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; h take away our reproach."
