{"product_id":"2940148923565","title":"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 27: Isaias","description":"THE PROPHECY OF ISAIAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis inspired writer is called by the Holy Ghost, the great prophet,\u003cbr\u003e(Ecclesiasticus:48.25,) from the greatness of his prophetic spirit, by\u003cbr\u003ewhich he hath foretold so long before, and in so clear a manner, the\u003cbr\u003ecoming of Christ, the mysteries of our redemption, the calling of the\u003cbr\u003eGentiles, and the glorious establishment, and perpetual flourishing of\u003cbr\u003ethe church of Christ: insomuch that he may seem to have been rather an\u003cbr\u003eevangelist than a prophet. His very name is not without mystery; for\u003cbr\u003eIsaias in Hebrew signifies the salvation of the Lord, or Jesus is the\u003cbr\u003eLord. He was, according to the tradition of the Hebrews, of the blood\u003cbr\u003eroyal of the kings of Juda: and after a most holy life, ended his days\u003cbr\u003eby a glorious martyrdom; being sawed in two, at the command of his\u003cbr\u003ewicked son in law, King Manasses, for reproving his evil ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsaias Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe prophet complains of the sins of Juda and Jerusalem, and exhorts\u003cbr\u003ethem to a sincere conversion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:1. The vision of Isaias the Son of Amos, which he saw concerning Juda\u003cbr\u003eand Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings\u003cbr\u003eof Juda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath\u003cbr\u003espoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have\u003cbr\u003edespised me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel\u003cbr\u003ehath not known me, and my people hath not understood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked\u003cbr\u003eseed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have\u003cbr\u003eblasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase\u003cbr\u003etransgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no\u003cbr\u003esoundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not\u003cbr\u003ebound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your\u003cbr\u003ecountry strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as\u003cbr\u003ewhen wasted by enemies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard,\u003cbr\u003eand as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid\u003cbr\u003ewaste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom,\u003cbr\u003eand we should have been like to Gomorrha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law\u003cbr\u003eof our God, ye people of Gomorrha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims,\u003cbr\u003esaith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of\u003cbr\u003efatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. When you came to appear before me, who required these things at\u003cbr\u003eyour hands, that you should walk in my courts?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me.\u003cbr\u003eThe new moons, and the sabbaths and other festivals I will not abide,\u003cbr\u003eyour assemblies are wicked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are\u003cbr\u003ebecome troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes\u003cbr\u003efrom you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands\u003cbr\u003eare full of blood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:16. Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from\u003cbr\u003emy eyes, cease to do perversely,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:17. Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for\u003cbr\u003ethe fatherless, defend the widow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:18. And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as\u003cbr\u003escarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as\u003cbr\u003ecrimson, they shall be white as wool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:19. If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good\u003cbr\u003ethings of the land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:20. But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall\u003cbr\u003edevour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:21. How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a\u003cbr\u003eharlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:22. Thy silver is turned into dross: thy wine is mingled with water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:23. Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love\u003cbr\u003ebribes, they run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and\u003cbr\u003ethe widow's cause cometh not in to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:24. Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of\u003cbr\u003eIsrael: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be\u003cbr\u003erevenged of my enemies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:25. And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy\u003cbr\u003edross, and I will take away all thy tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:26.
