00:00.830 --> 00:04.830
The Book of the Prophet Isaiah,
Chapter 1.

00:05.670 --> 00:11.190
The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz,
which he saw concerning Judah and

00:11.190 --> 00:17.150
Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah,
Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of

00:17.150 --> 00:17.390
Judah.

00:30.850 --> 00:36.590
And he asked his master's crib,
But Israel doth not know, My people doth

00:36.590 --> 00:37.330
not consider.

00:38.350 --> 00:43.290
Ah, sinful nation, A people laden with
iniquity, A seed of evildoers,

00:43.850 --> 00:48.850
Children that are corruptors, They have
forsaken the Lord, They have provoked the

00:48.850 --> 00:52.490
Holy One of Israel unto anger,
They are gone away backward.

00:53.750 --> 00:55.590
Why should ye be stricken any more?

00:55.990 --> 01:00.650
Ye will revolt more and more, The whole
head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

01:01.470 --> 01:05.910
From the sole of the foot, even unto the
head, There is no soundness in it,

01:06.450 --> 01:09.710
But wounds, and bruises, and putrefying
sores.

01:10.490 --> 01:14.590
They have not been closed, Neither bound
up, neither mollified with ointment.

01:15.210 --> 01:20.830
Your country is desolate, Your cities are
burned with fire, Your land, strangers

01:20.830 --> 01:25.750
devour it in your presence, And it is
desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

01:26.390 --> 01:31.050
And the daughter of Zion is left as a
cottage in a vineyard, As a lodge in a

01:31.050 --> 01:33.910
garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city.

01:34.650 --> 01:40.130
Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us
a very small remnant, We should have been

01:40.130 --> 01:43.310
as Sodom, And we should have been like
unto Gomorrah.

01:44.210 --> 01:46.630
Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of
Sodom.

01:47.030 --> 01:50.590
Give ear unto the law of our God,
ye people of Gomorrah.

01:51.250 --> 01:54.590
To what purpose is the multitude of your
sacrifices unto me?

01:55.430 --> 02:00.570
Saith the Lord, I am full of the burnt
offerings of rams, And the fat of fed

02:00.570 --> 02:05.950
beasts, And I delight not in the blood of
bullocks, Or of lambs, or of he-goats.

02:06.590 --> 02:11.070
When ye come to appear before me,
Who hath required this at your hand,

02:11.210 --> 02:12.530
to tread my courts?

02:13.390 --> 02:18.950
Bring no more vain oblations, incenses and
abomination unto me, The new moons and

02:18.950 --> 02:22.290
sabbaths, the calling of assemblies,
I cannot away with.

02:22.290 --> 02:28.810
It is iniquity, even the solemn meeting,
Your new moons and your appointed feasts,

02:29.130 --> 02:30.110
my soul hateth.

02:30.790 --> 02:34.270
They are a trouble unto me, I am weary to
bear them.

02:34.830 --> 02:39.250
And when ye spread forth your hands,
I will hide mine eyes from you.

02:39.670 --> 02:44.810
Yea, when ye make many prayers,
I will not hear, Your hands are full of

02:44.810 --> 02:45.270
blood.

02:46.290 --> 02:51.710
Wash you, make you clean, Put away the
evil of your doings from before mine eyes,

02:51.710 --> 02:53.370
Cease to do evil.

02:54.250 --> 02:59.230
Learn to do well, seek judgment,
Relieve the oppressed, judge the

02:59.230 --> 03:00.950
fatherless, Plead for the widow.

03:01.790 --> 03:04.790
Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the Lord.

03:05.530 --> 03:09.450
Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow.

03:10.070 --> 03:13.270
Though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.

03:13.870 --> 03:17.530
If ye be willing and obedient,
ye shall eat the good of the land.

03:17.530 --> 03:22.290
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be
devoured with the sword.

03:23.230 --> 03:25.190
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

03:25.870 --> 03:27.990
How is the faithful city become an harlot?

03:28.550 --> 03:33.710
It was full of judgment, righteousness
lodged in it, but now murderers.

03:34.370 --> 03:37.690
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed
with water.

03:38.650 --> 03:41.930
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions
of thieves.

03:42.570 --> 03:45.810
Every one loveth gifts, and followeth
after rewards.

03:45.810 --> 03:50.490
They judge not the fatherless,
neither doth the cause of the widow come

03:50.490 --> 03:50.990
unto them.

03:51.810 --> 03:56.310
Therefore, saith the Lord, the Lord of
hosts, the mighty one of Israel,

03:57.070 --> 04:01.710
Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries,
and avenge me of mine enemies.

04:02.450 --> 04:07.330
And I will turn my hand upon thee,
and purely purge away thy dross,

04:07.770 --> 04:09.470
and take away all thy tin.

04:10.010 --> 04:14.790
And I will restore thy judges as at the
first, and thy counsellors as at the

04:14.790 --> 04:15.150
beginning.

04:16.050 --> 04:20.790
Afterward thou shalt be called the city of
righteousness, the faithful city.

04:21.390 --> 04:25.250
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,
and her converts with righteousness.

04:25.950 --> 04:30.090
And the destruction of the transgressors
and of the sinners shall be together.

04:30.850 --> 04:33.370
And they that forsake the Lord shall be
consumed.

04:34.030 --> 04:38.710
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks
which ye have desired, and ye shall be

04:38.710 --> 04:40.990
confounded for the gardens that ye have
chosen.

04:40.990 --> 04:46.110
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf
fadeth, and as a garden that hath no

04:46.110 --> 04:46.470
water.

04:47.150 --> 04:51.170
And the strong shall be as toe,
and the maker of it as a spark.

04:51.730 --> 04:55.290
And they shall both burn together,
and none shall quench them.

04:56.410 --> 04:58.550
This concludes Disc Number 35.
