COME LET US REASON TOGETHER FULL
11 Of what value to me is the abundance of your sacrifices? saith the Lord: I am full of whole-burnt-offerings of rams and I delight not in the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats: 12 neither shall ye come with these to appear before me for who has required these things at your hands? Ye shall no more tread my court.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodoma attend to the law of God, thou people of Gomorrah. 9 And if the Lord of Sabaoth had not left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been made like Gomorrah. 8 The daughter of Sion shall be deserted as a tent in a vineyard, and as a storehouse of fruits in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
7 Your land is desolate, your cities burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations. 6 From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer are healed: it is not possible to apply a plaister, nor oil, nor bandages. 5 Why should ye be smitten any more, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad. 4 Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: ye have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel. 3 The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel does not know me, and the people has not regarded me. 2 Hear, O heaven, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, saying, I have begotten and reared up children, but they have rebelled against me. 1 The vision which Esaias the son of Amos saw, which he saw against Juda, and against Jerusalem, in the reign of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, who reigned over Judea.
