Rebellion of God’s People
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning (A)Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the (a)reigns of (B)Uzziah, (C)Jotham, (D)Ahaz and (E)Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Your (U)land is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire,
Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your presence;
It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Your cities are burned with fire,
Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your presence;
It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.
The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
God Has Had Enough
ÒLet Us ReasonÓ
Zion Corrupted, to Be Redeemed

How the faithful city has become a (AY)harlot,
She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once lodged in her,
But now murderers.
22 She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once lodged in her,
But now murderers.
Your silver has become dross,
Your drink diluted with water.

Your drink diluted with water.

“I will also turn My hand against you,
And will (BE)smelt away your dross as with lye
And will remove all your alloy.

And will (BE)smelt away your dross as with lye
And will remove all your alloy.
