The vision of Yeshayahu the son of Amotz, which he<br />

saw concerning Yahudah and Yahrushalayim in the days<br />

of Uziyahu, Yotam, Achaz, and Hizqiyahu, melechim of<br />

Yahudah.<br />

2 Hear, O shamayim, and listen, O earth: for vuvh has<br />

spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and<br />

they have rebelled against Me.<br />

3 The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's<br />

crib: but Yisrael does not know Me, My people have not<br />

understood Me. 1015<br />

4 Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, a zera of<br />

evildoers, children that are corrupt: they have forsaken<br />

vuvh, they have provoked the Kadosh-One of Yisrael to<br />

anger, and they have gone backwards.<br />

5 Why should you be beaten any more? Yet you will<br />

continue in apostasy: the whole head is sick, and the<br />

whole lev faint.<br />

6 From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no<br />

soundness; but wounds, and bruises, and open sores: they<br />

have not been closed, neither bound up, neither soothed<br />

with ointment.<br />

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with<br />

fire: your land, foreigners devour it in your presence, and<br />

it is desolate, foreigners overthrow it.<br />

8 And the daughter of Tzion is left as a cottage in a<br />

vineyard, 1016 as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a<br />

besieged city.<br />

9 Except vuvh tzevaoth had left to us a very small<br />

remnant, 1017 we would have become just like Sedom, and<br />

we would have been just like Amorah. 1018<br />

10 Hear the word of vuvh, you rulers of Sedom; give ear<br />

to the Torah of our Elohim, you people of Amorah. 1019<br />

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to<br />

Me? Says vuvh: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,<br />

and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the dahm of<br />

bulls, or of lambs, or of goats. 1020<br />

12 When you come to appear before Me, who has<br />

required this at your hand, to trample My courts?<br />

13 Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an<br />

abomination to Me; the Rosh Chodashim and the<br />

Shabbats, the calling of miqra kedoshim, 1021 I cannot put<br />

up with; it is iniquity, even the kadosh meetings. 1022<br />

14 Your Rosh Chodashim and your moadim My being<br />

hates: 1023 they are a trouble to Me; I am weary of<br />

bearing them. 1024<br />

15 And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide My<br />

eyes from you: even though you make many tefillot, I will<br />

not hear: your hands are full of dahm.<br />

16 Wash yourself and make yourself clean; put away the<br />

evil of your doings from before My eyes; cease to do evil;<br />

17 Learn to do tov; seek mishpat, relieve the oppressed,<br />

defend the fatherless, and plead for the widow.<br />

18 Come now, and let us reason together, says vuvh:<br />

though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as<br />

snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as<br />

wool. 1025<br />

19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the tov of<br />

the land: 1026<br />

20 But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with<br />

Yeshayahu – uvhgah uvhgah – Isaiah<br />

To Our Forefathers Yisrael<br />

- 271 -<br />

the sword: for the mouth of vuvh has spoken it.<br />

21 How is it that the faithful city 1027 became a harlot! It<br />

was full of mishpat; tzedakah lodged in it; but now<br />

murderers.<br />

22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with<br />

mayim:<br />

23 Your rulers are rebellious, and are companions of<br />

thieves: everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards:<br />

they do not defend the fatherless, neither does the cause<br />

of the widow concern them.<br />

24 Therefore says the Master, vuvh tzevaoth, the Mighty<br />

One of Yisrael, Ah; I will be eased from My adversaries,<br />

and avenged of My enemies:<br />

25 And I will turn My hand against you, and purge away<br />

the dross of your rebellious men, and take away all your<br />

sin: 1028<br />

26 And I will restore your shophtim as at the first, and<br />

your counselors as at the beginning: afterward you shall<br />

be called, The city of tzedakah, the faithful city. 1029<br />

27 Tzion shall be redeemed 1030 with mishpat, and her<br />

restored ones 1031 with tzedakah. 1032<br />

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the<br />

sinners shall be together, and also they that forsake vuvh<br />

shall be consumed.<br />

29 For they shall be ashamed about the oak eytzim which<br />

they have desired, 1033 and you shall be embarrassed<br />

because of the gardens that you have chosen.<br />

30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a<br />

garden that has no mayim.<br />

31 And the strong shall be for cotton, and his work as a<br />

spark, and they shall both burn together, and there shall<br />

be none to extinguish it.<br />

2<br />

The word that Yeshayahu the son of Amotz saw<br />

concerning Yahudah and Yahrushalayim.<br />

2 And it shall come to pass in the yamim acharonim, that<br />

the mountain of vuvh's Bayit shall be established on the<br />

top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills;<br />

and all nations shall flow to it . 1034<br />

3 And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us<br />

make aliyah 1035 to the mountain of vuvh, to the Bayit of<br />

the Elohim of Yaakov; and He will teach us His halachot,<br />

and we will have our halacha in His paths: for out of<br />

Tzion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of vuvh from<br />

Yahrushalayim. 1036<br />

4 And He shall be a shofet between the nations, 1037 and<br />

shall rebuke many peoples: 1038 and they shall beat their<br />

swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning<br />

hooks: 1039 nation shall not lift up sword against nation,<br />

neither shall they learn war any more. 1040<br />

5 O Beit Yaakov, 1041 come, and let us have our halacha<br />

in the Light of vuvh. 1042<br />

6 Therefore You have forsaken Your people Beit Yaakov,<br />

1043 because they are self-satisfied like the old days, and<br />

practice magic like the Plishtim, and they please<br />

themselves with the children of foreigners. 1044<br />

7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there<br />

any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses,<br />

neither is there any end of their mirkavot:
