Isaiah 1:1-5 ▼

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: Children I have reared, and brought up, 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 evil-doers, Children that deal corruptly; They have forsaken the LORD, They have contemned the Holy One of Israel, They are turned away backward.

5 On what part will ye yet be stricken, Seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint;
