FIRST LESSON Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 Wendell Powers The vision of Isaiah Ben-Amoz, concerning Judah and Jerusalem during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, rulers of Judah. Hear the word of Y=>=, you rulers of “Sodom”! Listen to the command of Y=>=, you people of “Gomorrah”: “These interminable sacrifices of yours: what are they to me?” says Y=>=. “I am fed up with burnt offerings of rams and the fat of calves! The blood of bulls, lambs, and goats nauseates me. When you came to present yourselves before me, who asked you to trample over my courts? Don’t bring any more of your useless offerings to me—their incense fills me with loathing. New moons, Sabbaths, assemblies—I cannot endure another fes2val of injus2ce! Your new moons and your pilgrimages I despise with all my soul. They are wearisome to me; I am 2red of bearing them. When you open up your hands in prayer, I turn my eyes away from you. You may heap prayer upon prayer, but I won’t hear them—your hands are covered with blood! Wash! Clean yourselves! Get your injus2ce out of my sight! Cease to do evil and learn to do good! Search for jus2ce and help the oppressed! Protect those who are orphaned and plead the case of those who are widowed! “Come now! Let’s look at the choices before you,” says Y=>=. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they can be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, they can be like fleece. If you are willing to obey, you will eat the best that the land has to offer—but if you persist in rebellion the sword will consume you instead!” The mouth of Y=>= has spoken.
