      1The Vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

      ²Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth,For the Lord hath spoken:Children I have reared, and brought up,And they have rebelled against Me.³The ox knoweth his owner,And the ass his master's crib;But Israel doth not know,My people doth not consider. ⁴Ah sinful nation,A people laden with iniquity,A seed of evil-doers,Children that deal corruptly;They have forsaken the Lord,They have contemned the Holy One of Israel,They are turned away backward.⁵On what part will ye yet be stricken,Seeing ye stray away more and more?The whole head is sick,And the whole heart faint;⁶From the sole of the foot even unto the headThere is no soundness in it;But wounds, and bruises, and festering sores:They have not been pressed, neither bound up,Neither mollified with oil.⁷Your country is desolate;Your cities are burned with fire;Your land, strangers devour it in your presence,And it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.⁸And the daughter of Zion is leftAs a booth in a vineyard,As a lodge in a garden of cucumbers,As a besieged city.⁹Except the Lord of hostsHad left unto us a very small remnant,We should have been as Sodom,We should have been like unto Gomorrah. ¹⁰Hear the word of the Lord,Ye rulers of Sodom;Give ear unto the law of our God,Ye people of Gomorrah.¹¹To 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 bloodOf bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.¹²When ye come to appear before Me,Who hath required this at your hand,To trample My courts?¹³Bring no more vain oblations;It is an offering of abomination unto Me;New moon and sabbath, the holding of convocations—I cannot endure iniquity along with the solemn assembly.¹⁴Your new moons and your appointed seasonsMy soul hateth;They are a burden unto Me;I am weary to bear them.¹⁵And when ye spread forth your hands,I will hide Mine eyes from you;Yea, when ye make many prayers,I will not hear;Your hands are full of blood.¹⁶Wash you, make you clean,Put away the evil of your doingsFrom before Mine eyes,Cease to do evil;¹⁷Learn to do well;Seek justice, relieve the oppressed,Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. ¹⁸Come now, and let us reason together,Saith the Lord;Though your sins be as scarlet,They shall be as white as snow;Though they be red like crimson,They shall be as wool.¹⁹If ye be willing and obedient,Ye shall eat the good of the land;²⁰But if ye refuse and rebel,Ye shall be devoured with the sword;For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken. ²¹How is the faithful cityBecome a harlot!She that was full of justice,Righteousness lodged in her,But now murderers.²²Thy silver is become dross,Thy wine mixed with water.²³Thy princes are rebellious,And companions of thieves;Every one loveth bribes,And followeth after rewards;They judge not the fatherless,Neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. ²⁴Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts,The Mighty One of Israel:Ah, I will ease Me of Mine adversaries,And avenge Me of Mine enemies;²⁵And I will turn My hand upon thee,And purge away thy dross as with lye,And will take away all thine alloy;²⁶And I will restore thy judges as at the first,And thy counsellors as at the beginning;Afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness,The faithful city.²⁷Zion shall be redeemed with justice,And they that return of her with righteousness.²⁸But the destruction of the transgressors and the sinners shall be together,And they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths which ye have desired,And ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.³⁰For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth,And as a garden that hath no water.³¹And the strong shall be as tow,And his work as a spark;And they shall both burn together,And none shall quench them.

       2The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

      ²And it shall come to pass in the end of days,That the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the top of the mountains,And shall be exalted above the hills;And all nations shall flow unto it.³And many peoples 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.⁴And He shall judge between the nations,And shall decide for many peoples;And they shall beat their swords into plowshares,And their spears into pruning-hooks;Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,Neither shall they learn war any more. ⁵O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walkIn the light of the Lord.⁶For Thou hast forsaken Thy people the house of Jacob;For they are replenished from the east,And with soothsayers like the Philistines,And they please themselves in the brood of aliens.⁷Their land also is full of silver and gold,Neither is there any end of their treasures;Their land also is full of horses, Neither is there any end of their chariots.⁸Their land also is full of idols;Every one worshippeth the work of his own hands,That which his own fingers have made.⁹And man boweth down,And man lowereth himself;And Thou canst not bear with them.¹⁰Enter into the rock,And hide thee in the dust,From before the terror of the Lord,And from the glory of His majesty.¹¹The lofty looks of man shall be brought low,And the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. ¹²For the Lord of hosts hath a dayUpon all that is proud and lofty,And upon all that is lifted up, and it shall be brought low;¹³And upon all the cedars of LebanonThat are high and lifted up,And upon all the oaks of Bashan;¹⁴And upon all the high mountains,And upon all the hills that are lifted up; ¹⁵And upon every lofty tower,And upon every fortified wall;¹⁶And upon all the ships of Tarshish,And upon all delightful imagery.¹⁷And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down,And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. ¹⁸And the idols shall utterly pass away.¹⁹And men shall go into the caves of the rocks,And into the holes of the earth,From before the terror of the Lord,And from the glory of His majesty,When He ariseth to shake mightily the earth.²⁰In that day a man shall cast awayHis idols of silver, and his idols of gold,Which they made for themselves to worship,To the moles and to the bats;²¹To go into the clefts of the rocks,And СКАЧАТЬ
