Chapter 1
1 Rebellion of God's People
The vision 2377 of Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 concerning 5921 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389, which 834 he saw 2372 during the reigns 3117 of Uzziah 5818, Jotham 3147, Ahaz 271 {and} Hezekiah 2396, kings 4428 of Judah 3063.
2 Listen 8085, O heavens 8064, and hear 238, O earth 776; For the LORD 3068 speaks 1696, "Sons 1121 I have reared 1431 and brought 7311 up, But they have revolted 6586 against Me.
3 "An ox 7794 knows 3045 its owner 7069, And a donkey 2543 its master's 1167 manger 18, {But} Israel 3478 does not know 3045, My people 5971 do not understand 995."
4 ¶ Alas 1945, sinful 2398 nation 1471, People 5971 weighed 3515 down 3515 with iniquity 5771, Offspring 2233 of evildoers 7489, Sons 1121 who act 7843 corruptly 7843! They have abandoned 5800 the LORD 3068, They have despised 5006 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, They have turned 2114 away 2114 from Him.
5 ¶ Where will you be stricken 5221 again 5750, {As} you continue 3254 in {your} rebellion 5627? The whole 3605 head 7218 is sick 2483 And the whole 3605 heart 3824 is faint 1742.
6 From the sole 3709 of the foot 7272 even to the head 7218 There 369 is nothing 369 sound 4974 in it, {Only} bruises 6482, welts 2250 and raw 2961 wounds 4347, Not pressed 2115 out or bandaged 2280, Nor 3808 softened 7401 with oil 8081.
7 ¶ Your land 776 is desolate 8077, Your cities 5892 are burned 8313 with fire 784, Your fields 127--strangers 2114 are devouring 398 them in your presence 5048; It is desolation 8077, as overthrown 4114 by strangers 2114.
8 The daughter 1323 of Zion 6726 is left 3498 like a shelter 5521 in a vineyard 3754, Like a watchman's 4412 hut 4412 in a cucumber 4750 field 4750, like a besieged 5341 city 5892.
9 Unless 3884 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 Had left 3498 us a few 4592 survivors 8300, We would be like Sodom 5467, We would be like 1819 Gomorrah 6017.
10 God Has Had Enough
¶ Hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, You rulers 7101 of Sodom 5467; Give 238 ear 238 to the instruction 8451 of our God 430, You people 5971 of Gomorrah 6017.
11 "What 4100 are your multiplied 7230 sacrifices 2077 to Me?" Says 559 the LORD 3068. "I have had 7646 enough 7646 of burnt 5930 offerings 5930 of rams 352 And the fat 2459 of fed 4806 cattle 4806; And I take 2654 no 3808 pleasure 2654 in the blood 1818 of bulls 6499, lambs 3532 or goats 6260.
12 "When 3588 you come 935 to appear 7200 before 6440 Me, Who 4310 requires 1245 of you this 384 trampling 7429 of My courts 2691?
13 "Bring 935 your worthless 7723 offerings 4503 no 3808 longer 3254, Incense 7004 is an abomination 8441 to Me. New 2320 moon 2320 and sabbath 7676, the calling 7121 of assemblies 4744-- I cannot endure 3201 iniquity 205 and the solemn 6116 assembly 6116.
14 "I hate 8130 your new 2320 moon 2320 {festivals} and your appointed 4150 feasts 4150, They have become 1961 a burden 2960 to Me; I am weary 3811 of bearing 5375 {them.}
15 "So when you spread 6566 out your hands 3709 {in prayer,} I will hide 5956 My eyes 5869 from you; Yes 1571, even 1571 though 3588 you multiply 7235 prayers 8605, I will not listen 8085. Your hands 3027 are covered 4390 with blood 1818.
16 ¶ "Wash 7364 yourselves, make 2135 yourselves clean 2135; Remove 5493 the evil 7455 of your deeds 4611 from My sight. Cease 2308 to do evil 7489,
17 Learn 3925 to do 3190 good 3190; Seek 1875 justice 4941, Reprove 833 the ruthless 2541, Defend 8199 the orphan 3490, Plead 7378 for the widow 490.
18 ``Let Us Reason"
¶ "Come 1980 now 4994, and let us reason 3198 together," Says 559 the LORD 3068, "Though 518 your sins 2399 are as scarlet 8144, They will be as white 3835 as snow 7950; Though 518 they are red 119 like crimson 8438, They will be like wool 6785.
19 "If 518 you consent 14 and obey 8085, You will eat 398 the best 2898 of the land 776;
20 "But if 518 you refuse 3985 and rebel 4784, You will be devoured 398 by the sword 2719." Truly 3588, the mouth 6310 of the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696.
21 Zion Corrupted, to Be Redeemed
¶ How 351 the faithful 539 city 7151 has become 1961 a harlot 2181, She {who} was full 4392 of justice 4941! Righteousness 6664 once lodged 3885 in her, But now 6258 murderers 7523.
22 Your silver 3701 has become 1961 dross 5509, Your drink 5435 diluted 4107 with water 4325.
23 Your rulers 8269 are rebels 5637 And companions 2270 of thieves 1590; Everyone 3605 loves 157 a bribe 7810 And chases 7291 after rewards 8021. They do not defend 8199 the orphan 3490, Nor 3808 does the widow's 490 plea 7379 come 935 before 413 them.
24 ¶ Therefore 3651 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635, The Mighty 46 One 46 of Israel 3478, declares 5002, "Ah 1945, I will be relieved 5162 of My adversaries 6862 And avenge 5358 Myself on My foes 340.
25 "I will also turn 7725 My hand 3027 against 5921 you, And will smelt 6884 away your dross 5509 as with lye 1253 And will remove 5493 all 3605 your alloy 913.
26 "Then I will restore 7725 your judges 8199 as at the first 7223, And your counselors 3289 as at the beginning 8462; After 310 that you will be called 7121 the city 5892 of righteousness 6664, A faithful 539 city 7151."
27 ¶ Zion 6726 will be redeemed 6299 with justice 4941 And her repentant 7725 ones with righteousness 6666.
28 But transgressors 6586 and sinners 2400 will be crushed 7667 together 3164, And those who forsake 5800 the LORD 3068 will come 3615 to an end 3615.
29 Surely 3588 you will be ashamed 954 of the oaks 352 which 834 you have desired 2530, And you will be embarrassed 2659 at the gardens 1593 which 834 you have chosen 977.
30 For you will be like an oak 424 whose leaf 5929 fades 5034 away 5034 Or as a garden 1593 that has 369 no 369 water 4325.
31 The strong 2634 man 2634 will become 1961 tinder 5296, His work 6467 also a spark 5213. Thus they shall both 8147 burn 1197 together 3164 And there 369 will be none 369 to quench 3518 {them.}
Chapter 2
1 God's Universal Reign
The word 1697 which 834 Isaiah 3470 the son 1121 of Amoz 531 saw 2372 concerning 5921 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389.
2 ¶ Now it will come 1961 about that In the last 319 days 3117 The mountain 2022 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 Will be established 3559 as the chief 7218 of the mountains 2022, And will be raised 5375 above 4480 the hills 1389; And all 3605 the nations 1471 will stream 5102 to it.
3 And many 7227 peoples 5971 will come 1980 and say 559, "Come 1980, let us go 5927 up to the mountain 2022 of the LORD 3068, To the house 1004 of the God 430 of Jacob 3290; That He may teach 3384 us concerning 4480 His ways 1870 And that we may walk 1980 in His paths 734." For the law 8451 will go 3318 forth 3318 from Zion 6726 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 from Jerusalem 3389.
4 And He will judge 8199 between 996 the nations 1471, And will render 3198 decisions 3198 for many 7227 peoples 5971; And they will hammer 3807 their swords 2719 into plowshares 855 and their spears 2595 into pruning 4211 hooks 4211. Nation 1471 will not lift 5375 up sword 2719 against 413 nation 1471, And never 3808 again 5750 will they learn 3925 war 4421.
5 ¶ Come 1980, house 1004 of Jacob 3290, and let us walk 1980 in the light 216 of the LORD 3068.
6 For You have abandoned 5203 Your people 5971, the house 1004 of Jacob 3290, Because 3588 they are filled 4390 {with influences} from the east 6924, And {they are} soothsayers 6049 like the Philistines 6430, And they strike 5606 {bargains} with the children 3206 of foreigners 5237.
7 Their land 776 has also been filled 4390 with silver 3701 and gold 2091 And there 369 is no 369 end 7097 to their treasures 214; Their land 776 has also been filled 4390 with horses 5483 And there 369 is no 369 end 7097 to their chariots 4818.
8 Their land 776 has also been filled 4390 with idols 457; They worship 7812 the work 4639 of their hands 3027, That which 834 their fingers 676 have made 6213.
9 So the {common} man 120 has been 7817 humbled 7817 And the man 376 {of importance} has been 8213 abased 8213, But do not forgive 5375 them.
10 Enter 935 the rock 6697 and hide 2934 in the dust 6083 From the terror 6343 of the LORD 3068 and from the splendor 1926 of His majesty 1347.
11 The proud 1365 look 5869 of man 120 will be abased 8213 And the loftiness 7312 of man 376 will be humbled 7817, And the LORD 3068 alone 905 will be exalted 7682 in that day 3117.
12 A Day of Reckoning Coming
¶ For the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will have a day 3117 {of reckoning} Against 5921 everyone 3605 who 1343 is proud 1343 and lofty 7311 And against 5921 everyone 3605 who is lifted 5375 up, That he may be abased 8213.
13 And {it will be} against 5921 all 3605 the cedars 730 of Lebanon 3844 that are lofty 7311 and lifted 5375 up, Against 5921 all 3605 the oaks 437 of Bashan 1316,
14 Against 5921 all 3605 the lofty 7311 mountains 2022, Against 5921 all 3605 the hills 1389 that are lifted 5375 up,
15 Against 5921 every 3605 high 1364 tower 4026, Against 5921 every 3605 fortified 1219 wall 2346,
16 Against 5921 all 3605 the ships 591 of Tarshish 8659 And against 5921 all 3605 the beautiful 2532 craft 7914.
17 The pride 1365 of man 120 will be humbled 7817 And the loftiness 7312 of men 376 will be abased 8213; And the LORD 3068 alone 905 will be exalted 7682 in that day 3117,
18 But the idols 457 will completely 3632 vanish 2498.
19 {Men} will go 935 into caves 4631 of the rocks 6697 And into holes 4247 of the ground 6083 Before the terror 6343 of the LORD 3068 And the splendor 1926 of His majesty 1347, When He arises 6965 to make 6206 the earth 776 tremble 6206.
20 In that day 3117 men 120 will cast 7993 away 7993 to the moles 2663 and the bats 5847 Their idols 457 of silver 3701 and their idols 457 of gold 2091, Which 834 they made 6213 for themselves to worship 7812,
21 In order to go 935 into the caverns 5366 of the rocks 6697 and the clefts 5585 of the cliffs 5553 Before the terror 6343 of the LORD 3068 and the splendor 1926 of His majesty 1347, When He arises 6965 to make 6206 the earth 776 tremble 6206.
22 Stop 2308 regarding man 120, whose 834 breath 5397 {of life} is in his nostrils 639; For why 4100 should he be esteemed 2803?
Chapter 3
1 God Will Remove the Leaders
For behold 2009, the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635 is going to remove 5493 from Jerusalem 3389 and Judah 3063 Both supply 4937 and support 4938, the whole 3605 supply 4937 of bread 3899 And the whole 3605 supply 4937 of water 4325;
2 The mighty 1368 man 1368 and the warrior 4421, The judge 8199 and the prophet 5030, The diviner 7080 and the elder 2205,
3 The captain 8269 of fifty 2572 and the honorable man, The counselor 3289 and the expert 2450 artisan 2796, And the skillful 995 enchanter 3908.
4 And I will make 5414 mere lads 5288 their princes 8269, And capricious 8586 children 8586 will rule 4910 over them,
5 And the people 5971 will be oppressed 5065, Each 376 one 376 by another 376, and each 376 one 376 by his neighbor 7453; The youth 5288 will storm 7292 against the elder 2205 And the inferior 7034 against the honorable 3513.
6 When 3588 a man 376 lays 8610 hold 8610 of his brother 251 in his father's 1 house 1004, {saying,} "You have a cloak 8071, you shall be our ruler 7101, And these 2088 ruins 4384 will be under 8478 your charge 3027,"
7 He will protest 5375 on that day 3117, saying 559, "I will not be {your} healer 2280, For in my house 1004 there 369 is neither 369 bread 3899 nor 369 cloak 8071; You should not appoint 7760 me ruler 7101 of the people 5971."
8 For Jerusalem 3389 has stumbled 3782 and Judah 3063 has fallen 5307, Because 3588 their speech 3956 and their actions 4611 are against 413 the LORD 3068, To rebel 4784 against His glorious 3519 presence 5869.
9 The expression 1971 of their faces 6440 bears 6030 witness 6030 against them, And they display 5046 their sin 2403 like Sodom 5467; They do not {even} conceal 3582 {it.} Woe 188 to them! For they have brought 1580 evil 7463 on themselves.
10 Say 559 to the righteous 6662 that {it will go} well 2895 {with them,} For they will eat 398 the fruit 6529 of their actions 4611.
11 Woe 188 to the wicked 7563! {It will go} badly 7451 {with him,} For what he deserves will be done 6213 to him.
12 O My people 5971! Their oppressors 5065 are children 5953, And women 802 rule 4910 over them. O My people 5971! Those who guide 833 you lead 8582 {you} astray 8582 And confuse 1104 the direction 1870 of your paths 734.
13 God Will Judge
¶ The LORD 3068 arises 5324 to contend 7378, And stands 5975 to judge 1777 the people 5971.
14 The LORD 3068 enters 935 into judgment 4941 with the elders 2205 and princes 8269 of His people 5971, "It is you who have devoured 1197 the vineyard 3754; The plunder 1500 of the poor 6041 is in your houses 1004.
15 "What 4100 do you mean by crushing 1792 My people 5971 And grinding 2912 the face 6440 of the poor 6041?" Declares 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 of hosts 6635.
16 Judah's Women Denounced
¶ Moreover, the LORD 3068 said 559, "Because the daughters 1323 of Zion 6726 are proud 1361 And walk 1980 with heads 1627 held 5186 high 5186 and seductive 8265 eyes 5869, And go 1980 along with mincing 2952 steps 2952 And tinkle 5913 the bangles 5913 on their feet 7272,
17 Therefore the Lord 136 will afflict 8197 the scalp 6936 of the daughters 1323 of Zion 6726 with scabs 8197, And the LORD 3068 will make 6168 their foreheads 6596 bare 6168."
18 In that day 3117 the Lord 136 will take 5493 away 5493 the beauty 8597 of {their} anklets 5914, headbands 7636, crescent 7720 ornaments 7720,
19 dangling 5188 earrings 5188, bracelets 8285, veils 7479,
20 headdresses 6287, ankle 6807 chains 6807, sashes 7196, perfume boxes 1004, amulets 3908,
21 finger 2885 rings 2885, nose 639 rings 5141,
22 festal 4254 robes 4254, outer 4595 tunics 4595, cloaks 4304, money 2754 purses 2754,
23 hand 1549 mirrors 1549, undergarments 5466, turbans 6797 and veils 7289.
24 Now it will come 1961 about that instead 8478 of sweet 1314 perfume 1314 there will be putrefaction 4716; Instead 8478 of a belt 2290, a rope 5364; Instead 8478 of well-set 4748 hair 4748, a plucked-out 7144 scalp 7144; Instead 8478 of fine 6614 clothes 6614, a donning 4228 of sackcloth 8242; And branding 3587 instead 8478 of beauty 3308.
25 Your men 4962 will fall 5307 by the sword 2719 And your mighty 1369 ones 1369 in battle 4421.
26 And her gates 6607 will lament 578 and mourn 56, And deserted 5352 she will sit 3427 on the ground 776.
Chapter 4
1 A Remnant Prepared
For seven 7651 women 802 will take 2388 hold 2388 of one 259 man 376 in that day 3117, saying 559, "We will eat 398 our own bread 3899 and wear 3847 our own clothes 8071, only 7534 let us be called 7121 by your name 8034; take 622 away 622 our reproach 2781!"
2 ¶ In that day 3117 the Branch 6780 of the LORD 3068 will be beautiful 6643 and glorious 3519, and the fruit 6529 of the earth 776 {will be} the pride 1347 and the adornment 8597 of the survivors 6413 of Israel 3478.
3 It will come 1961 about that he who is left 7604 in Zion 6726 and remains 3498 in Jerusalem 3389 will be called 559 holy 6918--everyone 3605 who is recorded 3789 for life 2425 in Jerusalem 3389.
4 When 518 the Lord 136 has washed 7364 away 7364 the filth 6675 of the daughters 1323 of Zion 6726 and purged 1740 the bloodshed 1818 of Jerusalem 3389 from her midst 7130, by the spirit 7307 of judgment 4941 and the spirit 7307 of burning 1197,
5 then the LORD 3068 will create 1254 over 5921 the whole 3605 area 4349 of Mount 2022 Zion 6726 and over 5921 her assemblies 4744 a cloud 6051 by day 3119, even smoke 6227, and the brightness 5051 of a flaming 3852 fire 784 by night 3915; for over 5921 all 3605 the glory 3519 will be a canopy 2646.
6 There will be a shelter 5521 to {give} shade 6738 from the heat 2721 by day 3119, and refuge 4268 and protection 4563 from the storm 2230 and the rain 4306.
Chapter 5
1 Parable of the Vineyard
Let me sing 7891 now 4994 for my well-beloved 3039 A song 7892 of my beloved 1730 concerning His vineyard 3754. My well-beloved 3039 had 1961 a vineyard 3754 on a fertile hill 7161.
2 He dug 5823 it all around 5823, removed 5619 its stones 5619, And planted 5193 it with the choicest 8321 vine 8321. And He built 1129 a tower 4026 in the middle 8432 of it And also 1571 hewed 2672 out a wine 3342 vat 3342 in it; Then He expected 6960 {it} to produce 6213 {good} grapes 6025, But it produced 6213 {only} worthless 891 ones 891.
3 ¶ "And now 6258, O inhabitants 3427 of Jerusalem 3389 and men 376 of Judah 3063, Judge 8199 between 996 Me and My vineyard 3754.
4 "What 4100 more 5750 was there to do 6213 for My vineyard 3754 that I have not done 6213 in it? Why 4069, when I expected 6960 {it} to produce 6213 {good} grapes 6025 did it produce 6213 worthless 891 ones 891?
5 "So now 6258 let Me tell 3045 you what 834 I am going to do 6213 to My vineyard 3754: I will remove 5493 its hedge 4905 and it will be consumed 1197; I will break 6555 down 6555 its wall 1447 and it will become 1961 trampled 4823 ground 4823.
6 "I will lay 7896 it waste 1326; It will not be pruned 2168 or hoed 5737, But briars 8068 and thorns 7898 will come 5927 up. I will also charge 6680 the clouds 5645 to rain 4305 no 4480 rain 4306 on it."
7 ¶ For the vineyard 3754 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is the house 1004 of Israel 3478 And the men 376 of Judah 3063 His delightful 8191 plant 5194. Thus He looked 6960 for justice 4941, but behold 2009, bloodshed 4939; For righteousness 6666, but behold 2009, a cry 6818 of distress 6818.
8 Woes for the Wicked
¶ Woe 1945 to those who add 5060 house 1004 to house 1004 {and} join 7126 field 7704 to field 7704, Until 5704 there is no 657 more 657 room 4725, So that you have to live 3427 alone 905 in the midst 7130 of the land 776!
9 In my ears 241 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 {has sworn,} "Surely, many 7227 houses 1004 shall become 1961 desolate 8047, {Even} great 1419 and fine 2896 ones 2896, without 369 occupants 3427.
10 "For ten 6235 acres 6776 of vineyard 3754 will yield 6213 {only} one 259 bath 1324 {of wine,} And a homer 2563 of seed 2233 will yield 6213 {but} an ephah 374 of grain."
11 Woe 1945 to those who rise 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242 that they may pursue 7291 strong 7941 drink 7941, Who stay 309 up late 309 in the evening 5399 that wine 3196 may inflame 1814 them!
12 Their banquets 4960 are {accompanied} by lyre 3658 and harp 5035, by tambourine 8596 and flute 2485, and by wine 3196; But they do not pay 5027 attention 5027 to the deeds 6467 of the LORD 3068, Nor 3808 do they consider 7200 the work 4639 of His hands 3027.
13 ¶ Therefore 3651 My people 5971 go 1540 into exile 1540 for their lack 1097 of knowledge 1847; And their honorable 3519 men 4962 are famished 7458, And their multitude 1995 is parched 6704 with thirst 6772.
14 Therefore 3651 Sheol 7585 has enlarged 7337 its throat 5315 and opened 6473 its mouth 6310 without 1097 measure 2706; And Jerusalem's splendor 1926, her multitude 1995, her din 7588 {of revelry} and the jubilant 5938 within her, descend 3381 {into it.}
15 So the {common} man 120 will be humbled 7817 and the man 376 of {importance} abased 8213, The eyes 5869 of the proud 1364 also will be abased 8213.
16 But the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 will be
