6th Hour
Isa 1.19-2.3
Read in contextThus says the Lord,
1:19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
1:20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
1:21How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
1:22Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
1:23Thy 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.
1:24Therefore 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:
1:25And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
1:26And 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.
1:27Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
1:28And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
1:29For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
1:30For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
1:31And 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].
2:1The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2:2And 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.
2:3And 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.
