来自{publisher｝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. (王下15:1; 王下15:7; 王下15:32; 赛6:1; 赛7:1; 赛7:3; 赛7:10; 赛7:12; 赛14:28; 赛37:2; 何1:1; 弥1:1)
The Wickedness of Judah
2Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: “Children[1] have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me. (申4:26; 申32:1; 申32:6; 申32:10; 申32:15; 弥1:2; 弥6:2)3The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.” (耶8:7)4Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. (赛5:24; 赛31:1; 结14:5; 太3:7)5Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. (赛9:13; 赛31:6; 耶5:3)6From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil. (诗38:3; 耶8:22)7Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners. (申28:51; 赛5:5; 赛6:11)8And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. (伯27:18; 赛10:32; 赛37:22; 亚2:10; 亚9:9)9If the Lord of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah. (创19:24; 赛10:21; 赛13:19; 哀3:22; 羅9:29)10Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom! Give ear to the teaching[2] of our God, you people of Gomorrah! (申32:32; 赛3:9; 结16:46; 结16:48; 结16:55; 启11:8)11“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. (撒上15:22; 箴15:8; 赛66:3; 耶6:20; 玛1:10)12“When you come to appear before me, who has required of you this trampling of my courts? (出23:17; 出34:23)13Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations— I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. (出12:16; 利23:36; 民28:11; 代上23:31; 耶7:9; 珥2:15)14Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. (赛1:13)15When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. (王上8:22; 箴1:28; 赛59:3; 弥3:4)16Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, (耶2:22; 彼前3:11)17learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. (赛1:23; 耶22:3; 雅1:27)18“Come now, let us reason[3] together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. (诗51:7; 赛43:26; 弥6:2; 启7:14)19If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; (申30:15)20but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (民23:19; 赛1:2; 赛24:3; 赛40:5; 赛58:14; 弥4:4)
The Unfaithful City
21How the faithful city has become a whore,[4] she who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. (出34:15; 耶2:20; 耶31:23)22Your silver has become dross, your best wine mixed with water. (耶6:30; 结22:18)23Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not bring justice to the fatherless, and the widow’s cause does not come to them. (出23:8; 赛1:17; 耶5:28; 弥7:3; 亚7:10)24Therefore the Lord declares, the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Ah, I will get relief from my enemies and avenge myself on my foes. (申32:41; 诗132:2; 赛3:1; 赛10:33)25I will turn my hand against you and will smelt away your dross as with lye and remove all your alloy. (诗81:14; 赛5:25; 结22:20; 摩1:8; 玛3:3)26And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” (耶33:7; 耶33:11; 亚8:3)27Zion shall be redeemed by justice, and those in her who repent, by righteousness. (耶22:3)28But rebels and sinners shall be broken together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. (伯31:3; 诗1:6)29For they[5] shall be ashamed of the oaks that you desired; and you shall blush for the gardens that you have chosen. (赛57:5; 赛65:3; 赛66:17; 何4:13; 何4:19)30For you shall be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden without water. (耶17:8)31And the strong shall become tinder, and his work a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with none to quench them. (士16:9; 赛66:24)
