1Isaiah, son of Amoz, had a vision about Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Major vibes.

2Yo heavens, listen up! Earth, you too: God’s spoken, “I raised these kids, but they’re acting sus.”

3The ox knows his fam, and the donkey knows where he crashes, but Israel? Nah, they’re clueless, fr.

4Ah, what a wicked crew, loaded with bad vibes, corrupt kids: they ditched the Lord and made Him mad. Total savage move.

5Why you still getting wrecked? You just keep acting up: the whole squad's sick, and the heart is weak, no cap.

6From your feet to your head, it’s all messed up; just wounds and bruises everywhere, no one’s fixing it. So sus.

7Your land's a ghost town, cities on fire: strangers are eating it up right in front of you, total disaster.

8Zion’s like a chill spot in a vineyard, just a lonely cottage, like a city under siege.

9If the Lord hadn’t kept a tiny squad with us, we’d be just like Sodom and Gomorrah, for real.

10Listen up, rulers of Sodom; pay attention to God’s law, people of Gomorrah. This is lit.

11Yo, what’s up with all these sacrifices? God’s like, “I’m full on all that burnt stuff; no cap, I don’t vibe with the blood of bulls or goats.”

12When you roll up to see me, who told you to step into my crib like that?

13Stop with the empty offerings; incense ain’t it for me; new moons and sabbaths? Nah, that’s sus, I’m not about that solemn gathering life.

14Your new moons and feasts? My soul can’t even with those; they’re just a hassle, fr; I’m tired of dealing with it.

15When you throw your hands up, I’m gonna look away; even when you pray a ton, I won’t hear you; your hands are mad bloody.

16Clean yourselves up; ditch the bad vibes in front of me; just stop doing evil.

17Learn to do good; seek justice, help the oppressed, take care of orphans, and stand up for widows.

18Let’s chat about this, says the Lord: even if your sins are fire, they can be fresh as snow; if they’re red like blood, they can be pure like wool.

19If you’re down and obedient, you’ll feast on the good stuff from the land.

20But if you’re gonna act up and rebel, you’re gonna get wrecked; that’s what the Lord said, periodt.

21How did the faithful city turn into a total mess? It used to be all about justice; now it’s just a murder vibe.

22Your silver's looking sus, and your wine's watered down, no cap.

23Your leaders are straight-up rebellious, rolling with thieves; everyone loves a good gift and chases rewards. They don’t even care about the orphans or widows.

24So, the Lord, the boss of all, the mighty One of Israel, is like, "I’m done with my enemies; watch me pop off."

25I’m about to put my hand on you, clean you up, and get rid of all that junk.

26I’ll bring back your judges like the OGs, and your advisors will be on point again: then you’ll be known as the city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27Zion's gonna be redeemed with justice, and her peeps with righteousness, fr.

28The sinners and transgressors are gonna be in it together, and those who ditch the Lord will be totally consumed.

29You’ll be shook over the oaks you wanted, and you’ll feel embarrassed about the gardens you picked.

30You’ll be like an oak with no leaves and a garden that’s all dried up.

31The strong vibe like tow, and the creator's just a spark, they’re both lit together, and no one’s putting that fire out.

1The 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.

2Hear, 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.

3The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4Ah 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.

5Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6From 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.

7Your 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.

8And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9Except 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.

10Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11To 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.

12When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13Bring 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.

14Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15And 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.

16Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18Come 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.

19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

21How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23Thy 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.

24Therefore 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:

25And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26And 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.

27Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

29For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31And 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.
