Jehovah From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is condemns no soundness in it;

Formalism But wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores:
They have not been closed, neither bound up,

Your cities are burned with fire:

neither

Your land, strangers devour it in your presence,
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

10 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,

15 We should have been as Sodom,

And we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom;
Give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of
Gomorrah.

20 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

25 Or of lambs, or of he goats.

When ye come to appear before me,

Who hath required this at your hand, to tread my

courts?

Bring no more vain oblations;

Incense is an abomination unto me;

Forgive

The new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, ness of

I cannot away with;

It is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul S
hateth:

They are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide
mine eyes from
you:
Yea, when ye make many prayers,

Your hands are full of blood.

Wash you, make you clean;

I will not hear:

Put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
Cease to do evil; learn to do well;

Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,

Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

Sins pro

mised

ΤΟ

Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 20
If ye be willing and obedient,

Ye shall eat the good of the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel,

Ye shall be devoured with the sword:

For the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
How is the faithful city become an harlot!
It was full of judgment;

Righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Thy silver is become dross,

The Cor- Thy wine mixed with water:
ruption of Thy princes are rebellious,
Zion And companions of thieves :
Every one loveth gifts,

5 And followeth after rewards:
They judge not the fatherless,

Neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel,

10 Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries,

And avenge me of mine enemies:

And I will turn my hand

upon thee,

And purely purge away thy dross, and take away all
thy tin:

15 And I will restore thy judges as at the first,
And thy counsellers as at the beginning:
Afterward thou shalt be called,

The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,
20 And her converts with righteousness.
And the destruction of the transgressors
And of the sinners shall be together,
And they that forsake the LORD

Shall be consumed.

25 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired,

And ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth,

And as a garden that hath no water.

The Reign And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it of Peace

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,

LORD,

and let us go up to the mountain of the

To the house of the God of Jacob;

15

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.

20

And he shall judge among the nations,

And shall rebuke many people:

And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
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.

The Com- Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of

Jacob,

Day of the Because they be replenished from the east, and are Lord soothsayers like the Philistines,

5 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:
10 Their land also is full of idols;

15

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.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust,

For fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,

And the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, 20 And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. 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:

25 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up,

And upon all the oaks of Bashan,

And upon all the high mountains,

And upon all the hills that are lifted up,
