The Book of
Isaiah
CHAPTER 1
Isaiah 1:1
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.
Isaiah 1:2
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. Isaiah
1:3
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not
know, my people doth not consider. Isaiah 1:4
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.
Isaiah 1:5
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole
head is sick, and the whole heart faint. Isaiah 1:6
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. Isaiah 1:7
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.
Isaiah 1:8
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. Isaiah 1:9
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. Isaiah 1:10
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our
God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Isaiah 1:11
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. Isaiah
1:12
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to
tread my courts?
Isaiah 1:13
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.
Isaiah 1:14
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble
unto me; I am weary to bear them. Isaiah 1:15
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.
Isaiah 1:16
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine
eyes; cease to do evil;
Isaiah 1:17
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
Isaiah 1:18
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.
Isaiah 1:19
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: Isaiah
1:20
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the
mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah 1:21
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment;
righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. Isaiah 1:22
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: Isaiah 1:23
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. Isaiah 1:24
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: Isaiah 1:25
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take
away all thy tin:
Isaiah 1:26
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.
Isaiah 1:27
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
Isaiah 1:28
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be
together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. Isaiah 1:29
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. Isaiah 1:30
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no
water.
Isaiah 1:31
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. CHAPTER 2
Isaiah 2:1
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Isaiah 2:2
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. Isaiah 2:3
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. Isaiah 2:4
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.
Isaiah 2:5
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. Isaiah
2:6
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. Isaiah 2:7
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:
Isaiah 2:8
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands,
that which their own fingers have made: Isaiah 2:9
9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore
forgive them not.
Isaiah 2:10
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and
for the glory of his majesty.
Isaiah 2:11
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. Isaiah 2:12
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:
Isaiah 2:13
13 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon
all the oaks of Bashan,
Isaiah 2:14
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
Isaiah 2:15
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, Isaiah 2:16
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. Isaiah
2:17
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. Isaiah 2:18
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish. Isaiah 2:19
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. Isaiah 2:20
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;
Isaiah 2:21
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. Isaiah 2:22
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be
accounted of?
CHAPTER 3
Isaiah 3:1
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,
Isaiah 3:2
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the
prudent, and the ancient,
Isaiah 3:3
3 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the
cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. Isaiah 3:4
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Isaiah 3:5
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. Isaiah 3:6
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:
Isaiah 3:7
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. Isaiah 3:8
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. Isaiah 3:9
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.
Isaiah 3:10
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat
the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah 3:11
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands
shall be given him.
Isaiah 3:12
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.
Isaiah 3:13
13 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. Isaiah 3:14
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.
Isaiah 3:15
15 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the
poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Isaiah 3:16
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: Isaiah 3:17
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. Isaiah 3:18
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,
Isaiah 3:19
19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, Isaiah 3:20
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the
tablets, and the earrings,
Isaiah 3:21
21 The rings, and nose jewels,
Isaiah 3:22
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the
crisping pins,
Isaiah 3:23
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. Isaiah 3:24
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.
Isaiah 3:25
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. Isaiah 3:26
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon
the ground.
