2Hear, O heaven, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord has spoken, [saying], I have begotten and reared up children, but they have rebelled against me.

6From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them; neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer [are healed]: it is not possible to apply a plaister, nor oil, nor bandages.
6From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

9And if the Lord of Sabaoth had not left us a seed, we should have been as Sodoma, and we should have been made like to Gomorrha.

10Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodoma; attend to the law of God, thou people of Gomorrha.
10Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

14[your] fasting, and rest from work, your new moons also, and your feasts my soul hates: ye have become loathsome to me; I will no more pardon your sins.
14My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them.

3Many peoples shall go and say, “Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law shall go out of Zion, and Yahweh’s word from Jerusalem.

8And the land is filled with abominations, [even] the works of their hands; and they have worshipped [the works] which their fingers made.
8Their land also is full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

13for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,
14and upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill,
14for all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,
15and upon every high tower, and upon every high wall,
15for every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,
16and upon every ship of the sea, and upon every display of fine ships.
16for all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.
17And every man shall be brought low, and the pride of men shall fall: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
17The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

20For in that day a man shall cast forth his silver and gold abominations, which they made [in order] to worship vanities and bats;
20In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver and their idols of gold, which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats,
21to enter into the caverns of the solid rock, and into the clefts of the rocks, for fear of the Lord, and by reason of the glory of his might, when he shall arise to strike terribly the earth .
21to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, when he arises to shake the earth mightily.
