RF ISA 1:1 The Vision which Isaiah-ben-Amoz foresaw over Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, I'otham, Ahaz, and Hezekhiah, the Kings of Judah.
RF ISA 1:2 ODE 1.
An Appeal to His Nation.
The LORD Himself speaks!—Heavens hear, and Earth listen!
"I reared and trained sons, but from Me they revolt.—
RF ISA 1:3 The Ox his owner knows,—the Ass his master's crib,
But Israel knows nothing,—My People see not!
RF ISA 1:4 Woe! you wicked Nation;—Tribe loaded with sin,—
You Race of revolters,—the children of vice,—
Who abandoned the LORD Whom they hate,
Who from Israel's HOLY turned back,—
RF ISA 1:5 On what spot can they strike you again:
For each head is wounded and every heart sick,
RF ISA 1:6 And from the foot sole to the crown is no health,
But only wounds, bruises and festering sores, Never cleansed or wrapped up, and not softened with oil!
RF ISA 1:7 "Your land is a Desert,—Your cities are burnt,
Your farms in your sight strangers eat, and the plunderers waste:
RF ISA 1:8 Zion's maid sits forlorn like a tent in a field,
A Hut in a Garden,—or City besieged.
RF ISA 1:9 "Unless the LORD'S Mercy had left us a few,
We should perish like Sodom, be wrecked like Gomorah.
RF ISA 1:10 So hear the LORD'S sentence, you Judges of Sodom,—
Attend to GOD'S laws, you Gomorahan race!
RF ISA 1:11 "What to ME," asks the LORD, "Is the wealth of your offerings,—
I am sick of burnt Rams and the fat of fed beasts,—Blood of Bulls and of Lambs, and of Goats pleases not.—
RF ISA 1:12 When you come to My Presence who asks them from you, When trampling My courts?
RF ISA 1:13 "Bring no more vain offerings; your incense I hate it,—Your Month-feasts, and Sabbaths, and solemn assemblies, Abandon as useless, for I accept not.
RF ISA 1:14 My soul hates your Monthly and Festival Meetings; A load they are on Me,—I stagger to carry;—
RF ISA 1:15 When you there spread your hands, I turn My face from you, Though you multiply praying I never will listen, For blood fills your hands.
RF ISA 1:16 "Therefore wash yourselves clean, turn your sins from before you; Cease your practice of evil when close to My sight.
RF ISA 1:17 Learn to be righteous, and try to do justice,—Be just to the orphan, the helpless defend.
RF ISA 1:18 "Come now," says the LORD, "for the reason I give you; If your sins were like red, they will whiten like snow, If purple as worms will become like to wool;—
RF ISA 1:19 If calmly you listen, the good Land shall feed you;—
RF ISA 1:20 But refuse, and rebel, and the sword will eat you!"
RF ISA 1:21 ODE 2.
A Lament over Zion.
How could the Chaste City come out as a Harlot? Once Righteousness dwelt there,—but Murderers now!
RF ISA 1:22 Your silver is drossy, your wine mixed with water.
RF ISA 1:23 Your Princes are rebels, Confederates with robbers, Love bribes and seek gifts, not the rights of the helpless, And the plea of the widow they bring not before them.
RF ISA 1:24 "Go," says the Life's Prince, the kind Shepherd of Israel, "I will clear off the tyrants, and punish My haters.
RF ISA 1:25 Will turn My hand on you, refine out your dross,
RF ISA 1:26 And reserving your best will restore as aforetime, Your Statesmen to govern, Then they will call you the City of Justice, The Home of the truth;—
RF ISA 1:27 Zion, freed by Justice, by Right from her Slavery,
RF ISA 1:28 While the Wicked are Crushed, and the LORD'S foes defeated,
RF ISA 1:29 And you blush for the Groves you desired, And feel shamed for the Gardens you chose;
RF ISA 1:30 When your oak leaves are withered, and gardens unwatered,
RF ISA 1:31 And your wealthy like tow, and their works like a spark, And all burnt up together, with no one to quench them."
