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

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.

Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
