Isaiah / Yesha'yahu [Salvation of Yah] 1:3-11

³The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel God prevails does not know, my people don’t consider.”

⁴Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Adonai . They have despised the haKadosh Isra'el the Holy One of God prevails. They are estranged and backward.

⁵Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

⁶From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed with oil.

⁷Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

⁸The daughter of Zion Mountain ridge, Marking is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.

⁹Unless Adonai Tzva'ot Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom Burning; we would have been like Gomorrah Rebellious people, Tyrants.

¹⁰Sh'ma ·Hear obey· Adonai ’s word, you rulers of Sodom Burning! Listen to the Torah ·Teaching· of our God, you people of Gomorrah Rebellious people, Tyrants!

¹¹“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?,” says Adonai . “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
