Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible, Vol. 4: Translated Out of the Original Tongues The Vision of Isaiah the sonne of Amoz, which hee sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem, in the dayes of Uzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah kings of Iudah. Heare, O heavens, and give eare, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken; I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters cribbe: but Israel doeth not know, my people doeth not consider. Ah sinnefull nation, a people laden with iniquitie, a seede of evill doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy one of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should yee be stricken any more? yee will revolt more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foote, even unto the head, there is no soundnesse in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not beene closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oyntment. Your countrey is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your land, strangers devoure it in your presence, and it is desolate as overthrowen by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged citie. Except the Lord of hostes had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have beene as Sodom, and we should have bene like unto Gomorrah. Heare the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give eare unto the Law of our God, yee people of Gomorrah. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me, sayth the Lord?
