Isaiah 55:6-7
English Standard Version
6 (A)“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 1:5-24
English Standard Version
5 Why will you still be (A)struck down?
Why will you (B)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
6 (C)From the sole of the foot even to the head,
there is no soundness in it,
but bruises and sores
and raw wounds;
they are (D)not pressed out or bound up
or softened with oil.
7 (E)Your country lies desolate;
your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence
foreigners devour your land;
it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
8 And (F)the daughter of Zion is left
like a (G)booth in a vineyard,
like a lodge in a cucumber field,
like a besieged city.
9 (H)If the Lord of hosts
had not left us (I)a few survivors,
we should have been like (J)Sodom,
and become like (K)Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of (L)(M)Sodom!
Give ear to the teaching[a] of our God,
you people of (N)Gomorrah!
11 (O)“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 “When you come to (P)appear before me,
who has required of you
this trampling of my courts?
13 Bring no more vain offerings;
incense is an abomination to me.
(Q)New moon and Sabbath and the (R)calling of convocations—
I cannot endure (S)iniquity and (T)solemn assembly.
14 Your (U)new moons and your appointed feasts
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you (V)spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
(W)even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
(X)your hands are full of blood.
16 (Y)Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
(Z)cease to do evil,
17 learn to do good;
(AA)seek justice,
correct oppression;
(AB)bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow's cause.
18 “Come now, (AC)let us reason[b] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as (AD)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
19 (AE)If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be eaten by the sword;
(AF)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
The Unfaithful City
21 How the faithful city
(AG)has become a whore,[c]
(AH)she who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
22 (AI)Your silver has become dross,
your best wine mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone (AJ)loves a bribe
and runs after gifts.
(AK)They do not bring justice to the fatherless,
and the widow's cause does not come to them.
24 Therefore the (AL)Lord declares,
the Lord of hosts,
the (AM)Mighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
(AN)and avenge myself on my foes.
