Isaiah 6 (AMP)

Isaiah Chapter 6 (AMP)

Compare with Version:

¹ Who inflame yourselves [with lust in pagan rites] among the oaks (terebinth trees), Under every green and leafy tree, Who slaughter the children [in sacrifice] in the ravines Under the clefts of the rocks?

² "Among the smooth stones of the ravine Is your portion, they (the idols) are your lot; Even to them you have poured out a drink offering, You have offered a grain offering. Should I be quiet concerning these things [leaving them unpunished—bearing them with patience]?

³ "Upon a high and lofty mountain You have [openly and shamelessly] made your [idolatrous and adulterous] bed; Even there you went up to offer sacrifice [to idols, in spiritual unfaithfulness to Me].

⁴ "Behind the door and the doorpost You have set up your [pagan] symbol; Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered yourself, And have gone up and made your bed wide. And you have made a [new] agreement for yourself with the adulterers, You have loved their bed, You have looked [with passion] on their[1] manhood.

⁵ "You have gone to[2] the king [of a pagan land] with oil And increased your[3] perfumes; You have sent your messengers a great distance And made them go down to Sheol (the realm of the dead).

⁶ "You were wearied by the length of your road, Yet you did not say, 'It is no use.' You found[4] renewed strength, Therefore you did not grow weak.

⁷ "About whom were you worried and fearful That you lied and did not[5] remember Me, Nor[6] give Me a thought? Was I not silent even for a long time And [as a result] you do not fear Me?

⁸ "I will declare your [hypocritical] righteousness and your deeds, But they will not benefit you.

⁹ "When you cry out [for help], let your [ridiculous] collection of idols save you. But the wind will carry them all away, A [mere] breath will take them. But he who takes refuge in Me will possess the land [Judea] And will inherit My holy mountain."

¹⁰ And it will be said, "Build up, build up, clear the way. Remove the stumbling block out of the way [of the spiritual return] of My people."

¹¹ For the high and exalted One He who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy says this, "I dwell on the high and holy place, But also with the[7] contrite and humble in spirit In order to revive the spirit of the humble And to revive the heart of the contrite [overcome with sorrow for sin].

¹² "For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For [if I did stay angry] the spirit [of man] would grow weak before Me, And the breath of those whom I have created.

¹³ "Because of the wickedness of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him; I hid My face and was angry, And he went on turning away and backsliding, in the way of his [own willful] heart.
