责民悖逆

乌西雅约坦亚哈斯希西家犹大王的时候,亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示,论到犹大耶路撒冷

天哪,要听!地啊,侧耳而听!因为耶和华说:“我养育儿女,将他们养大,他们竟悖逆我。 牛认识主人,驴认识主人的槽,以色列却不认识,我的民却不留意。”

叹其受罚仍不悔改

嗐,犯罪的国民,担着罪孽的百姓,行恶的种类,败坏的儿女!他们离弃耶和华,藐视以色列的圣者,与他生疏,往后退步。 你们为什么屡次悖逆?还要受责打吗?你们已经满头疼痛,全心发昏。 从脚掌到头顶,没有一处完全的,尽是伤口、青肿与新打的伤痕,都没有收口,没有缠裹,也没有用膏滋润。 你们的地土已经荒凉,你们的城邑被火焚毁,你们的田地在你们眼前为外邦人所侵吞,既被外邦人倾覆,就成为荒凉。 仅存锡安[a],好像葡萄园的草棚,瓜田的茅屋,被围困的城邑。 若不是万军之耶和华给我们稍留余种,我们早已像所多玛蛾摩拉的样子了。

虽守节献祭仍行作恶

10 你们这所多玛的官长啊,要听耶和华的话!你们这蛾摩拉的百姓啊,要侧耳听我们神的训诲! 11 耶和华说:“你们所献的许多祭物与我何益呢?公绵羊的燔祭和肥畜的脂油,我已经够了;公牛的血、羊羔的血、公山羊的血,我都不喜悦。 12 你们来朝见我,谁向你们讨这些,使你们践踏我的院宇呢? 13 你们不要再献虚浮的供物!香品是我所憎恶的,月朔和安息日并宣召的大会也是我所憎恶的,做罪孽又守严肃会我也不能容忍。 14 你们的月朔和节期,我心里恨恶,我都以为麻烦,我担当便不耐烦。 15 你们举手祷告,我必遮眼不看,就是你们多多地祈祷我也不听,你们的手都满了杀人的血。

教以除恶行善之道

16 “你们要洗濯,自洁,从我眼前除掉你们的恶行。要止住作恶, 17 学习行善,寻求公平,解救受欺压的,给孤儿申冤,为寡妇辨屈。”

悔改则降之以福否则必加之以祸

18 耶和华说:“你们来,我们彼此辩论。你们的罪虽像朱红,必变成雪白;虽红如丹颜,必白如羊毛。 19 你们若甘心听从,必吃地上的美物; 20 若不听从,反倒悖逆,必被刀剑吞灭。”这是耶和华亲口说的。

叹圣城败坏

21 可叹忠信的城变为妓女!从前充满了公平,公义居在其中,现今却有凶手居住! 22 你的银子变为渣滓,你的酒用水掺兑。 23 你的官长居心悖逆,与盗贼做伴,各都喜爱贿赂,追求赃私。他们不为孤儿申冤,寡妇的案件也不得呈到他们面前。

锡安必蒙救赎

24 因此主万军之耶和华,以色列的大能者说:“哎!我要向我的对头雪恨,向我的敌人报仇。 25 我必反手加在你身上,炼尽你的渣滓,除净你的杂质。 26 我也必复还你的审判官,像起初一样;复还你的谋士,像起先一般。然后你必称为公义之城,忠信之邑。” 27 锡安必因公平得蒙救赎,其中归正的人必因公义得蒙救赎。 28 但悖逆的和犯罪的必一同败亡,离弃耶和华的必致消灭。 29 那等人必因你们所喜爱的橡树抱愧,你们必因所选择的园子蒙羞。 30 因为你们必如叶子枯干的橡树,好像无水浇灌的园子。 31 有权势的必如麻瓤,他的工作好像火星,都要一同焚毁,无人扑灭。

末日万民必归耶和华殿之山

亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚得默示,论到犹大耶路撒冷

末后的日子,耶和华殿的山必坚立超乎诸山,高举过于万岭,万民都要流归这山。 必有许多国的民前往,说:“来吧!我们登耶和华的山,奔雅各神的殿。主必将他的道教训我们,我们也要行他的路,因为训诲必出于锡安,耶和华的言语必出于耶路撒冷。” 他必在列国中施行审判,为许多国民断定是非。他们要将刀打成犁头,把枪打成镰刀。这国不举刀攻击那国,他们也不再学习战事。

雅各家啊,来吧,我们在耶和华的光明中行走! 耶和华,你离弃了你百姓雅各家,是因他们充满了东方的风俗,做观兆的,像非利士人一样,并与外邦人击掌。 他们的国满了金银,财宝也无穷;他们的地满了马匹,车辆也无数。 他们的地满了偶像,他们跪拜自己手所造的,就是自己指头所做的。 卑贱人屈膝,尊贵人下跪,所以不可饶恕他们。 10 你当进入岩穴,藏在土中,躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光。 11 到那日,眼目高傲的必降为卑,性情狂傲的都必屈膝,唯独耶和华被尊崇。

耶和华独见崇高

12 必有万军耶和华降罚的一个日子,要临到骄傲狂妄的,一切自高的都必降为卑; 13 又临到黎巴嫩高大的香柏树和巴珊的橡树; 14 又临到一切高山的峻岭; 15 又临到高台和坚固城墙; 16 又临到他施的船只,并一切可爱的美物。 17 骄傲的必屈膝,狂妄的必降卑,在那日,唯独耶和华被尊崇。

偶像全被废弃

18 偶像必全然废弃。 19 耶和华兴起使地大震动的时候,人就进入石洞,进入土穴,躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光。 20 到那日,人必将为拜而造的金偶像、银偶像抛给田鼠和蝙蝠。 21 到耶和华兴起使地大震动的时候,人好进入磐石洞中和岩石穴里,躲避耶和华的惊吓和他威严的荣光。 22 你们休要倚靠世人,他鼻孔里不过有气息,他在一切事上可算什么呢?

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.

(H)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.
So the daughter of Zion is left (I)as a [e]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(J)As a besieged city.
(K)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (L)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers (M)of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your (N)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 (O)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more (P)futile[f] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (Q)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (R)New Moons and your (S)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (T)When you [g]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(U)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [h]blood.

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

18 “Come now, and let us (X)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
(Y)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”;
(Z)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

The Degenerate City

21 (AA)How the faithful city has become a [k]harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now (AB)murderers.
22 (AC)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 (AD)Your princes are rebellious,
And (AE)companions of thieves;
(AF)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (AG)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, (AH)I will [l]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [m]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (AI)thoroughly[n] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges (AJ)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (AK)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”

27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her [o]penitents with righteousness.
28 The (AL)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For [p]they shall be ashamed of the [q]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 (AM)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (AN)quench them.

The Future House of God(AO)

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Now (AP)it shall come to pass (AQ)in the latter days
(AR)That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say,
(AS)“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
(AT)For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning [r]hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

The Day of the Lord

O house of Jacob, come and let us (AU)walk
In the light of the Lord.

For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled (AV)with eastern ways;
They are (AW)soothsayers like the Philistines,
(AX)And they [s]are pleased with the children of foreigners.
(AY)Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
(AZ)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.

10 (BA)Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.
11 The [t]lofty looks of man shall be (BB)humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted (BC)in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all (BD)the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 (BE)Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 (BF)Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The [u]loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols [v]He shall utterly abolish.

19 They shall go into the (BG)holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the [w]earth,
(BH)From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises (BI)to shake the earth mightily.

20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

22 (BJ)Sever[x] yourselves from such a man,
Whose (BK)breath is in his nostrils;
For [y]of what account is he?

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.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 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.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13 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.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 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.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 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.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23 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.

24 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:

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31 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.

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:

Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.

10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,

15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
