Isaiah 1:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 1:10

8 So the daughter of Zion is left ^aas a booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
^bAs a besieged city.

9 ^aUnless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like ^bSodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers ^aof Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:

11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your ^asacrifices to Me?”
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.

12 “When you come ^ato appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?

13 Bring no more ^afutile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and ^bthe calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.

14 Your ^aNew Moons and your ^bappointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.

15 ^aWhen you¹ spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
^bEven though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of¹ blood.

16 “Wash^a yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
^bCease to do evil,

17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke¹ the oppressor;
¹Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.

18 “Come now, and let us ^areason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
^bThey shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.

19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
