They Have Forsaken Hashem

They have angered the Holy One of Israel, and they have turned their back [on Him] v. 4

*At the start of this book of Isaiah it is very clear that only what G-d Himself said through His servants the prophets you should take heed.

*Not Matthew, Mark, Luke, Peter, John or Paul. For they all teach the opposite!

“Sin Exposed”

“Call For Repentance”

The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
1:1
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Hashem has spoken: “Children have I raised and exalted, but they have rebelled against Me.
1:2
An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master’s trough; but Israel does not know. My people does not comprehend.”
1:3
… They have forsaken Hashem; they have angered the Holy One of Israel, and they have turned their back [on Him].
:4
No longer shall you bring a worthless meal-offering, it is smoke of abomination to Me. [As for] the New Moon and Sabbath, and your calling of convocations, I cannot abide mendacity with solemn assembly.
:13
When you spread your hands [in prayer], I will hide My eyes from you; even if you were to intensify your prayer, I will not listen; your hands are filled with blood.
:15
Wash yourselves, purify yourselves, remove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes; cease doing evil.
:16
Learn to do good, seek justice, vindicate the victim, render justice to the orphan, take up the grievance of the widow.
:17
Come now, let us reason together, says Hashem. If your sins are like scarlet they will become white as snow; if they have become red as crimson, they will become [white] as wool.
:18
If you are willing and obey, you will eat the goodness of the land.
:19
But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword — for the mouth of Hashem has spoken.
:20
but calamity [awaits] rebels and sinners together, and those who forsake Hashem will perish;
:28

1 The 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.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord has spoken; Children I have raised and exalted, yet they have rebelled against Me.
3 An ox knows his owner and a donkey his master’s crib; Israel does not know, my people does not consider.
4 Woe to a sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, evildoing seed, corrupt children. They forsook the Lord; they provoked the Holy One of Israel; they drew backwards.
5 Why are you beaten when you still continue to rebel? Every head is [afflicted] with illness and every heart with malaise.
6 From the sole of the foot until the head there is no soundness-wounds and contusions and lacerated sores; they have not sprinkled, neither have they been bandaged, nor was it softened with oil.
7 Your land is desolate; your cities burnt with fire. Your land-in your presence, strangers devour it; and it is desolate as that turned over to strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion shall be left like a hut in a vineyard, like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
9 “Had not the Lord of Hosts left us a remnant, we would soon be like Sodom; we would resemble Gomorrah.”
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, O people of Gomorrah!
11 Of what use are your many sacrifices to Me? says the Lord. I am sated with the burnt-offerings of rams and the fat of fattened cattle; and the blood of bulls and sheep and hegoats I do not want.
12 When you come to appear before Me, who requested this of you, to trample My courts?
13 You shall no longer bring vain meal-offerings, it is smoke of abomination to Me; New Moons and Sabbaths, calling convocations, I cannot [bear] iniquity with assembly.
14 Your New Moons and your appointed seasons My soul hates, they are a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing [them].
15 And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you, even when you pray at length, I do not hear; your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash, cleanse yourselves, remove the evil of your deeds from before My eyes, cease to do evil.
17 Learn to do good, seek justice, strengthen the robbed, perform justice for the orphan, plead the case of the widow.
18 Come now, let us debate, says the Lord. If your sins prove to be like crimson, they will become white as snow; if they prove to be as red as crimson dye, they shall become as wool.
19 If you be willing and obey, you shall eat the best of the land.
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword, for the mouth of the Lord spoke.
21 How has she become a harlot, a faithful city; full of justice, in which righteousness would lodge, but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross; your wine is diluted with water.
23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after payments; the orphan they do not judge, and the quarrel of the widow does not come to them.
24 “Therefore,” says the Master, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, “Oh, I will console Myself from My adversaries, and I will avenge Myself of My foes.
25 And I will return My hand upon you and purge away your dross as with lye, and remove all your tin.
26 And I will restore your judges as at first and your counsellors as in the beginning; afterwards you shall be called City of Righteousness, Faithful City.
27 Zion shall be redeemed through justice and her penitent through righteousness.
28 And destruction shall come over rebels and sinners together, and those who forsake the Lord shall perish.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the elms that you desired, and you shall be humiliated because of the gardens that you chose.
30 For you shall be like an elm whose leaves are wilting, and like a garden that has no water.
31 And the[ir] strength shall become as tow, and its perpetrator as a spark, and both of them shall burn together, with no one to extinguish [the fire].
