Isa Isaiah, chapter Book of Isaiah, chapter 1
A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah. Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue rebelled against me. Deu 32:1The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand. Deu 32:6Ah, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde. Isa 30:9; Isa 57:3; Dan 9:5Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie. Jer 2:30; Jer 4:19From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle. Deu 28:35Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of strangers. Deu 28:51; Isa 5:5And the daughter of Zion shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie. Except the Lord of hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah. Lam 3:22; Rom 9:29; Gen 19:24; Jer 23:14Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah. What haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates. Pro 15:8; Isa 66:3; Jer 6:20; Amo 5:21When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread in my courts? Jer 7:22Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies. Pro 21:27My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare them. And when you shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: for your hands are full of blood. Pro 1:28; Jer 14:12; Ezk 8:18; Mic 3:4; Isa 59:3Wash you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill. Psa 34:14; 1Pe 3:11Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe. Psa 82:4Come nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll. Isa 41:1; Isa 43:25; Isa 44:22If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate the good things of the land. Lev 25:18But if ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers. Mat 23:34; Mat 23:37Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water. Jer 6:30; Ezk 22:18Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them. Hos 9:15; Exo 22:22; Jer 5:28; Zec 7:10Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies. Deu 28:63Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne. Isa 1:22; Mal 3:2And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie. Jer 33:16Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice. And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe consumed. Job 31:3; Psa 1:6For they shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen. Isa 65:3; Hos 4:13For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water. Psa 1:3And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.Mal 4:1
