Chap. I.
note
Isaie prophecying in the dayes of foure kinges of Iuda, note 2. admonisheth both
princes and people of their ingratitude, and other sinnes against God. 7.
for which they shal be led captiue. 11. Neither shal sacrifices, nor prayers
saue them, 16. except they cleanse their soules from sinnes. 20. which they
not doing shal be seuerely punished. 26. wherby the reliques shal be purged,
and the Church shal flourish.
1 The vision of Isaie the sonne of note Amos, which he sawe
concerning Iuda and Ierusalem in the dayes of Ozias,
Ioathan, Achaz, and Ezechias kinges of Iuda.
2 Heare ye
heauens, & geue eare รด earth, because our Lord hath spoken.
I haue brought vp children, and exalted them: but they haue
despised me.
3 The oxe hath knowen his owner, and the
asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen me, and my
people hath not vnderstood.
4 Woe to the sinful nation, the
people loden with greeuous iniquitie, the wicked seede, vngracious
children: they haue forsaken our Lord, they haue
blasphemed the holie one of Israel, they are reuolted backewards.
5 For what shal I strike you anie more, which adde
preuarication? note euerie head is sicke, & euerie hart in heauines.
6 From the sole of the foote vnto the toppe of the head, there
is no health therein: wound, and wayle, and swelling stroke:
it is not bound vp, nor cured with medicine, nor mollified
with oile.
7 Your land is desolate, your cities burnt with
fire: your countrie strangers deuoure before your face, and it
shal be made desolate as in the spoile of enemies.
8 And note the
daughter of Sion shal be left as a vineyard, and as a cottage in
a place of cucumbers, and as a citie that is wasted.
9 noteVnlesse
the Lord of hostes had lefte vs seed, we had beene as Sodom,
and we should be like to Gomorrha.
10 Heare the word of our
Lord ye princes of Sodom, geue eare to the law of our God ye
people of Gomorrha.
11 To what purpose do you offer me
the multitude of your victimes, saith our Lord? I am ful. the
holocaust of rammes, and the fatte of fatlings, and the bloud
of calues, and lambes, and buck goates I haue not desired.
12 When you should haue come before my sight, who sought
-- --
for these thinges at your handes, that you should walke in my
courtes?
13 Offer sacrifice no more in vaine: incense is abomination
to me. The Newe moone, and the Sabbath, and
other festiuities I wil not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
14 My soule hateth your Calendes, and your solemnities: they
are become tedious to me, I haue laboured in susteyning.
15 And when you shal streach forth your hands, I wil turne
away mine eies from you: & when you shal multiplie prayer,
I wil not heare: for your handes are ful of bloud.
16 Wash
you, be cleane, take away the euil of your cogitations from
mine eies: cease to doe peruersely.
17 Lerne to doe good:
seeke iudgement, succour the oppressed, iudge for the pupil,
defend the widow.
18 And come, and accuse me, sayth our
Lord: if your sinnes shal be as scarlet, they shal be made
white as snow: and if they be red as vermelon, they shal be
white as wooll.
19 If you be willing, and wil heare me, you
shal eate the good thinges of the earth.
20 But if you wil not,
and wil prouoke me to wrath: the sword shal deuoure
you, because the mouth of our Lord hath spoken.
21 How is
the faythful citie, ful of iudgement, note become an harlot?
iustice hath dwelled in it, but now mankillers.
22 Thy siluer is
turned into drosse: thy wine is mingled with water.
23 Thy
princes are vnfaithful, companions of theues: al loue giftes,
folow rewardes. They iudge not for the pupil: and the widowes
cause goeth not in to them.
24 For this cause sayth our
Lord the God of hostes the mightie one of Israel: Alas, I wil
comfort myselfe vpon mine aduersaries: and wil be reuenged
of mine enemies.
25 And I wil turne mine hand to thee, and
I wil boyle out thy drosse til it be pure, & wil take away al thy
tinne.
26 And I wil restore note thy iudges as they haue beene
before, and thy counselers as of old. After these thinges thou
shalt be called the iust, a faithful citie.
27 Sion shal be redemed
in iudgement, and they shal bring her backe in iustice.
28 And
he shal destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they
that haue forsaken our Lord, shal be consumed.
29 For they shal
be confounded for the idols, to which they haue sacrificed:
and you shal be ashamed of the gardens, which you chose.
30 When you shal be as an oke the leaues falling of, and as a
garden without water.
31 And your strength shal be, as the
isles of towe, and your worke as a sparke: and both shal be
set on fire together, and there shal be none to quench it.
