Isaiah 1:4-9 Ah, sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, offspring
who do evil, children who deal corruptly, who have forsaken the
LORD, who have despised the Holy One of Israel, who are utterly
estranged!
5
Why do you seek further beatings? Why do you continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6
From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in
it, but bruises and sores and bleeding wounds; they have not been
drained, or bound up, or softened with oil.
7
Your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your
very presence aliens devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by
foreigners.
8
And daughter Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a shelter in a
cucumber field, like a besieged city.
9
If the LORD of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we would have
been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah.
Isaiah 11:1-9
A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall
grow out of his roots.
2
The spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge
and the fear of the LORD.
3
His delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by
what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear;
4
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with
equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the rod of
his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the
belt around his loins.
6
The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the
kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall
lead them.
7
The cow and the bear shall graze, their young shall lie down
together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned
child shall put its hand on the adder's den.
9
They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will
be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Jeremiah 31:31-34
The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new
32
covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
It will not
be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them
by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt -- a covenant that
33
they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD.
But this is
the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their
34
hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
No
longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, "Know the
LORD," for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the
greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember
their sin no more.
