Isaiah Chapter 1

1 The 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.

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I 
have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel 
doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, 
children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have 
provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the 
whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in 
it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been 
closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, 
strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown 
by strangers.

8 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.

9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we 
should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law 
of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 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, or of lambs, or of 
he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your 
hand, to tread my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the 
new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; 
it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a 
trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 And 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.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from 
before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the 
fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come 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.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for 
the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; 
righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one 
loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the 
fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24 Therefore 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:

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, 
and take away all thy tin:

26 And 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.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with 
righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be 
together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye 
shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that 
hath no water.

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and 
they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

Isaiah Chapter 2

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

2 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.

3 And many people 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.

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: 
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into 
pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither 
shall they learn war any more.

5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because 
they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the 
Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

7 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:

8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own 
hands, that which their own fingers have made:

9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: 
therefore forgive them not.

10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, 
and for the glory of his majesty.

11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men 
shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

12 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:

13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and 
upon all the oaks of Bashan,

14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are 
lifted up,

15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.

17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of 
men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.

19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of 
the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when 
he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of 
gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and 
to the bats;

21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged 
rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he 
ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he 
to be accounted of?

Isaiah Chapter 3

1 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from 
Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of 
bread, and the whole stay of water,

2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and 
the prudent, and the ancient,

3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and 
the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule 
over them.

5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one 
by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the 
ancient, and the base against the honourable.

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, 
saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be 
under thy hand:

7 In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my 
house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and 
their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they 
declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for 
they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they 
shall eat the fruit of their doings.

11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his 
hands shall be given him.

12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over 
them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy 
the way of thy paths.

13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, 
and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of 
the poor is in your houses.

15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of 
the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

16 Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, 
and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing 
as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:

17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of 
the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling 
ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like 
the moon,

19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and 
the tablets, and the earrings,

21 The rings, and nose jewels,

22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, 
and the crisping pins,

23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be 
stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair 
baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning 
instead of beauty.

25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.

26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall 
sit upon the ground.

Isaiah Chapter 4

1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We 
will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called 
by thy name, to take away our reproach.

2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, 
and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that 
are escaped of Israel.

3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that 
remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is 
written among the living in Jerusalem:

4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of 
Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst 
thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and 
upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a 
flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.

6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the 
heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
