¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah. ² Hear, [ye] heavens, and give ear, [thou] earth! for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children; and they have rebelled against me. ³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master`s crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence. ⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward. ⁵ Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ⁶ From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil. ⁷ Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. ⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city. ⁹ Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah. ¹⁰ Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah! ¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure. ¹² When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand -- to tread my courts? ¹³ Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, -- new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations -- wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear. ¹⁴ Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing [them]. 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. ¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; -- cease to do evil, ¹⁷ learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow. ¹⁸ Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ¹⁹ If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land; ²⁰ but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken. ²¹ How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers. ²² Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water: ²³ thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them. ²⁴ Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies. ²⁵ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy; ²⁶ and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning.

²¹ Because, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.

¹ I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men; ² for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity; ³ for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God, ⁴ who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the] knowledge of [the] truth. ⁵ For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [the] man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be rendered] in its own times; ⁷ to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak [the] truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of [the] nations in faith and truth. ⁸ I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning. ⁹ In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing, ¹⁰ but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of God, by good works. ¹¹ Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection; ¹² but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness; ¹³ for Adam was formed first, then Eve: ¹⁴ and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression. ¹⁵ But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.

² for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane,

¹⁶ because all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

⁴ And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of Israel also wept again and said, Who will give us flesh to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic; ⁶ and now our soul is dried up: there is nothing at all but the manna before our eyes.

¹ But this know, that in [the] last days difficult times shall be there; ² for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane, ³ without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, of unsubdued passions, savage, having no love for what is good, ⁴ traitors, headlong, of vain pretensions, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; ⁵ having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away.
