Judah Called to Repentance

The (A)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the (B)days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

The Wickedness of Judah

(C)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;
(D)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel (E)does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”

Alas, sinful nation,
A people [c]laden with iniquity,
(F)A [d]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.

(G)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
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 putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.

12 “When you come (A)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more (B)futile[a] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (C)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (D)New Moons and your (E)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (F)When you [b]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(G)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [c]blood.

16 “Wash(H) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
(I)Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke [d]the oppressor;
[e]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.

18 “Come now, and let us (J)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
(K)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
