| Isaiah 1 Text (WEB)
|
- 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.
- Hear, heavens, and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
- The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but Israel doesn't know, my people don't consider."
- Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
- Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
- From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.
- 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.
- The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.
- Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom; we would have been like Gomorrah.
- Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
- "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says Yahweh. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
- When you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
- Bring no more vain offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.
- My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.
- When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
- Wash yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
- Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow."
- "Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
- If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
- but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
- How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
- Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
- Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don't judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
- Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: "Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself of my enemies;
- and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.
- 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, a faithful town.'
- Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
- But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
- For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
- For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
- The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will quench them."

- חזון ישעיהו בן־אמוץ אשר חזה על־יהודה וירושלם בימי עזיהו יותם אחז יחזקיהו מלכי יהודה׃
- שמעו שמים והאזיני ארץ כי יהוה דבר בנים גדלתי ורוממתי והם פשעו בי׃
- ידע שור קנהו וחמור אבוס בעליו ישראל לא ידע עמי לא התבוןן׃
- הוי גוי חטא עם כבד עון זרע מרעים בנים משחיתים עזבו את־יהוה נאצו את־קדוש ישראל נזרו אחור׃
- על מה תכו עוד תוסיפו סרה כל־ראש לחלי וכל־לבב דוי׃
- מכף־רגל ועד־ראש אין־בו מתם פצע וחבורה ומכה טריה לא־זרו ולא חבשו ולא רככה בשמן׃
- ארצכם שממה עריכם שרפות אש אדמתכם לנגדכם זרים אכלים אתה ושממה כמהפכת זרים׃
- ונותרה בת־ציון כסכה בכרם כמלונה במקשה כעיר נצורה׃
- לולי יהוה צבאות הותיר לנו שריד כמעט כסדם היינו לעמרה דמינו׃ ס
- שמעו דבר־יהוה קציני סדם האזינו תורת אלהינו עם עמרה׃
- למה־לי רב־זבחיכם יאמר יהוה שבעתי עלות אילים וחלב מריאים ודם פרים וכבשים ועתודים לא חפצתי׃
- כי תבאו לראות פני מי־בקש זאת מידכם רמס חצרי׃
- לא תוסיפו הביא מנחת־שוא קטרת תועבה היא לי חדש ושבת קרא מקרא לא־אוכל און ועצרה׃
- חדשיכם ומועדיכם שנאה נפשי היו עלי לטרח נלאיתי נשא׃
- ובפרשכם כפיכם אעלים עיני םכם גם כי־תרבו תפלה אינני שמע ידיכם דמים מלאו׃
- רחצו הזכו הסירו רע מעלליכם מנגד עיני חדלו הרע׃
- למדו היטב דרשו משפט אשרו חמוץ שפטו יתום ריבו אלמנה׃ ס
- לכו־נא ונוכחה יאמר יהוה אם־יהיו חטאיכם כשנים כשלג ילבינו אם־יאדימו כתולע כצמר יהיו׃
- אם־תאבו ושמעתם טוב הארץ תאכלו׃
- ואם־תמאנו ומריתם חרב תאכלו כי פי יהוה דבר׃ ס
- איכה היתה לזונה קריה נאמנה מלאתי משפט צדק ילין בה ועתה מרצחים׃
- כספך היה לסיגים סבאך מהול במים׃
- שריך סוררים וחברי גנבים כלו אהב שחד ורדף שלמנים יתום לא ישפטו וריב אלמנה לא־יבוא אליהם׃ ף
- לכן נאם האדון יהוה צבאות אביר ישראל הוי אנחם מצרי ואנקמה מאויבי׃
- ואשיבה ידי עליך ואצרף כבר סיגיך ואסירה כל־בדיליך׃
- ואשיבה שפטיך כבראשנה ויעציך כבתחלה אחרי־כן יקרא לך עיר הצדק קריה נאמנה׃
- ציון במשפט תפדה ושביה בצדקה׃
- ושבר פשעים וחטאים יחדו ועזבי יהוה יכלו׃
- כי יבשו מאילים אשר חמדתם ותחפרו מהגנות אשר בחרתם׃
- כי תהיו כאלה נבלת עלה וכגנה אשר־מים אין לה׃
- והיה החסן לנערת ופעלו לניצוץ ובערו שניהם יחדו ואין מכבה׃ ס

| Isaiah 1 Text (Latin)
|
- Visio Isaiæ, filii Amos, quam vidit super Judam et Jerusalem, in diebus Oziæ, Joathan, Achaz, et Ezechiæ, regum Juda.
- Audite, cæli, et auribus percipe, terra, quoniam Dominus locutus est. Filios enutrivi, et exaltavi ; ipsi autem spreverunt me.
- Cognovit bos possessorem suum, et asinus præsepe domini sui ; Israël autem me non cognovit, et populus meus non intellexit.
- Væ genti peccatrici, populo gravi iniquitate, semini nequam, filiis sceleratis ! dereliquerunt Dominum ; blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israël ; abalienati sunt retrorsum.
- Super quo percutiam vos ultra, addentes prævaricationem ? omne caput languidum, et omne cor mœrens.
- A planta pedis usque ad verticem, non est in eo sanitas ; vulnus, et livor, et plaga tumens, non est circumligata, nec curata medicamine, neque fota oleo.
- Terra vestra deserta ; civitates vestræ succensæ igni : regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant, et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili.
- Et derelinquetur filia Sion ut umbraculum in vinea, et sicut tugurium in cucumerario, et sicut civitas quæ vastatur.
- Nisi Dominus exercituum reliquisset nobis semen, quasi Sodoma fuissemus, et quasi Gomorrha similes essemus.
- Audite verbum Domini, principes Sodomorum ; percipite auribus legem Dei nostri, populus Gomorrhæ.
- Quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum ? dicit Dominus. Plenus sum : holocausta arietum, et adipem pinguium, et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum, nolui.
- Cum veniretis ante conspectum meum, quis quæsivit hæc de manibus vestris, ut ambularetis in atriis meis ?
- Ne offeratis ultra sacrificium frustra : incensum abominatio est mihi. Neomeniam et sabbatum, et festivitates alias, non feram ; iniqui sunt cœtus vestri.
- Calendas vestras, et solemnitates vestras odivit anima mea : facta sunt mihi molesta ; laboravi sustinens.
- Et cum extenderitis manus vestras, avertam oculos meos a vobis, et cum multiplicaveritis orationem, non exaudiam : manus enim vestræ sanguine plenæ sunt.
- Lavamini, mundi estote ; auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum ab oculis meis : quiescite agere perverse,
- discite benefacere ; quærite judicium, subvenite oppresso, judicate pupillo, defendite viduam.
- Et venite, et arguite me, dicit Dominus. Si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum, quasi nix dealbabuntur ; et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus, velut lana alba erunt.
- Si volueritis, et audieritis me, bona terræ comeditis.
- Quod si nolueritis, et me ad iracundiam provocaveritis, gladius devorabit vos, quia os Domini locutum est.
- Quomodo facta est meretrix civitas fidelis, plena judicii ? justitia habitavit in ea, nunc autem homicidæ.
- Argentum tuum versum est in scoriam ; vinum tuum mistum est aqua.
- Principes tui infideles, socii furum. Omnes diligunt munera, sequuntur retributiones. Pupillo non judicant, et causa viduæ non ingreditur ad illos.
- Propter hoc ait Dominus, Deus exercituum, Fortis Israël : Heu ! consolabor super hostibus meis, et vindicabor de inimicis meis.
- Et convertam manum meam ad te, et excoquam ad puram scoriam tuam, et auferam omne stannum tuum.
- Et restituam judices tuos ut fuerunt prius, et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus ; post hæc vocaberis civitas justi, urbs fidelis.
- Sion in judicio redimetur, et reducent eam in justita.
- Et conteret scelestos, et peccatores simul ; et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur.
- Confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt, et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis,
- cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis, et velut hortus absque aqua.
- Et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppæ, et opus vestrum quasi scintilla, et succendetur utrumque simul, et non erit qui extinguat.

| Isaiah 1 Text (KJV)
|
- 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.
- Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
- The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
- Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
- Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
- From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
- Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
- And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
- Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
- Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
- To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
- When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
- Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
- Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
- And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
- Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
- Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
- Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
- If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
- But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
- How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
- Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
- Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
- Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
- And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
- And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
- Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
- And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
- For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
- For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
- And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
