Isaiah 1:19-2:3
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
19 If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
20 But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is turned into dross: thy wine is mingled with water.
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow's cometh not in to them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
25 And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin.
26 And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
27 Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
28 And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
30 When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water.
31 And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.
2 The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
2 And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 1:19-2:3
New International Version
19 If you are willing and obedient,(A)
you will eat the good things of the land;(B)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(C)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(D)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(E)
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(F)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(G) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(H)
22 Your silver has become dross,(I)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(J)
partners with thieves;(K)
they all love bribes(L)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(M)
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One(N) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge(O) myself on my enemies.(P)
25 I will turn my hand against you;[a](Q)
I will thoroughly purge(R) away your dross(S)
and remove all your impurities.(T)
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,(U)
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called(V)
the City of Righteousness,(W)
the Faithful City.(X)”
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent(Y) ones with righteousness.(Z)
28 But rebels and sinners(AA) will both be broken,
and those who forsake(AB) the Lord will perish.(AC)
29 “You will be ashamed(AD) because of the sacred oaks(AE)
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(AF)
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(AG)
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire.(AH)”
The Mountain of the Lord(AI)
2 This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:(AJ)
2 In the last days(AK)
the mountain(AL) of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;(AM)
it will be exalted(AN) above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.(AO)
3 Many peoples(AP) will come and say,

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.
