Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ The Uision of Isaiah the sonne of Amoz, which hee sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem, in the dayes of Uzziah, Iotham, Ahaz, & Hezekiah kings of Iudah.

² Heare, O heauens, and giue eare, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken; I haue nourished and brought vp children, and they haue rebelled against me.

³ The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters cribbe: but Israel doeth not know, my people doeth not consider.

⁴ Ah sinnefull nation, a people laden with iniquitie, a seede of euill doers, children that are corrupters: they haue forsaken the Lord, they haue prouoked the Holy one of Israel vnto anger, they are gone away backward.

⁵ ¶ Why should yee be stricken any more? yee will reuolt more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart faint.

⁶ From the sole of the foote, euen vnto the head, there is no soundnesse in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they haue not beene closed, neither bound vp, neither mollified with oyntment.

⁷ Your countrey is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your land, strangers deuoure it in your presence, and it is desolate as ouerthrowen by strangers.

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

⁹ Except the Lord of hostes had left vnto vs a very small remnant, we should haue beene as Sodom, and we should haue bene like vnto Gomorrah.

¹⁰ ¶ Heare the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, giue eare vnto the Law of our God, yee people of Gomorrah.

¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices vnto me, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rammes, and the fat of fedde beasts, and I delight not in the blood of bullockes, or of lambes, or of hee goates.

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

¹³ Bring no more vaine oblations, incense is an abomination vnto me: the new Moones, and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies I cannot away with; it is iniquitie, euen the solemne meeting.

¹⁴ Your new Moones, and your appointed Feasts my soule hateth: they are a trouble vnto me, I am weary to beare them.

¹⁵ And when ye spread foorth your handes, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when yee make many prayers I will not heare: your hands are full of blood.

¹⁶ ¶ Wash yee, make you cleane, put away the euill of your doings from before mine eyes, cease to doe euill,

¹⁷ Learne to doe well, seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed, iudge the fatherlesse, plead for the widow.

¹⁸ Come now and let vs reason together, saith the Lord: though your sinnes be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimsin, they shall be as wooll.

¹⁹ If yee be willing and obedient, yee shall eate the good of the land.

²⁰ But if yee refuse and rebell, yee shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

²¹ ¶ Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, righteousnesse lodged in it; but now murtherers.

²² Thy siluer is become drosse, thy wine mixt with water.

²³ Thy princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doth the cause of the widowe come vnto them.

²⁴ Therefore, saith the Lord, the Lord of hostes, the mighty one of Israel; Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies.

²⁵ ¶ And I will turne my hand vpon thee, and purely purge away thy drosse, and take away all thy tinne.

²⁶ And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called the citie of righteousnesse, the faithfull citie.

²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with iudgement, and her conuerts with righteousnesse.

²⁸ ¶ And the destruction of the transgressours and of the sinners shall be together: and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

²⁹ For they shall be ashamed of the okes which yee haue desired, and yee shalbe confounded for the gardens that yee haue chosen.

³⁰ For yee shall be as an oke whose leafe fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

³¹ And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker of it as a sparke, and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.

Ntuthu Dhlamini's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment about verse 18 on 5/04/2012, 6:00am...

Looks to me that the Lord is always the One who makes the first move in trying to bring His lost children back to Him. Notice how in Genesis He is the One calling out to Adam and Eve saying where art thou? They have sinned and they decide to run away and hide from God. God makes the first move which culminates with Him promising them a Saviour. He decides not only to forgive them but to also take their punishment. What a great God! Contrary to the picture that the Devil paints of an angry and judgemental God who is always looking for any excuse to punish us.

Isaiah's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment on 3/27/2012, 7:09am...

well this is a warning to everyone who finds himself reading this comment stay away from sin so that you will be not consumed by wrath of GOD;ISAIAH declares as the messenger of God in the world,not forgeting that hell is a reality you might say no because you dont see it but the fact you are refusing it is because of who you believed and he is the one taking you there by the pleasures,reasoning and defensive kind of life.thank you hope you are going to change

Hope Kelvin's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment on 3/09/2012, 5:05am...

chapter 4 really talked about sin of a nation which rebelled against God almighty full of iniquities evildoers wickedness.As a child of God who have focus, we should try as much as possible to flee all this things.I pray god will strengthen us in Jesus name.Amen.

Bane's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment on 1/01/2012, 2:25am...

When a man begins to read Isaiah (for instance chapter 1-5) without knowing the historical background he has no idea what the prophecy is related to, except the Is 1:1. But God is speaking through him so strong so the prophecy has a universal character. While reading, this time I was looking to my own motherland. Similarity between the words and reality is frightening.
Nevertheless I sincerely recommend to read some facts about Isaiah (especially for beginners) because it will make them easy to read the Holy Bible. God bless you.

Mortimer Goth's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment on 1/13/2011, 3:24pm...

God looks down upon a sinful nation. This sinful nation feels that it can live in sin and then turn to God for grace and pardon, as though nothing has happened. God is saying that if you rebel in such a way, he will not hear you--like a parent grown tired a rowdy child. That is what I gain from this chapter.

Quinton Burke's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment on 1/08/2011, 8:32am...

the book of Isaiah is a most telling book of the will of the Almighty. He (The Almighty) will destroy those things of the earth when he return to bring in things anew. The dew will be as the awakening of those things that has now been silent.There will be no more crying (see Isaiah chapter 25)for crying will be replaced with rejoicing. Praise the Lord for his goodness and mercy.

Kathy's Isaiah Chapter 1 comment about verse 18 on 12/05/2010, 10:22am...

The Lord wants us to go to Him and reason things out. He wants us to ask so He can explain things to us. Though they be red they will be white says' nothing shall be impossible with Him. To me the cross and the blood shed by Jesus is the red sins that were covered by His blood so we could be washed clean by the sacrifice of the Lords crucifixion. God is a God of grace and mercy who forgives even the vilest sinner and nothing is impossible with Him. But to know Him which He is calling us to do here, we must come to Him and "talk things out" argue if you must, reason with Him, read His word, pray and fast and seek His face (2 Chronicles 7:14), ah, yes, COME - God's calling us - Let us- (together (us)) Reason, figure things out, argue a point, the Jews were great at arguing a point and Jesus our Messiah is Jewish...sounds like His personality coming through here! Love It...Love the Word of God!
