The Wickedness of Judah
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
And the donkey its master’s1 crib;
But Israel bdoes not know,
My people do not1 consider.”
A people1 la1den with iniquity,
aA brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
bAs a besieged city.
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like bSodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
You rulers aof Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
| << Isaiah 1:3 | Isaiah 1:5 >> |
