KJV ¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

VULC ¹ Visio Isaiæ, filii Amos, quam vidit super Judam et Jerusalem, in diebus Oziæ, Joathan, Achaz, et Ezechiæ, regum Juda.

KJV ² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

VULC ² [Audite, cæli, et auribus percipe, terra,
quoniam Dominus locutus est.
Filios enutrivi, et exaltavi ;
ipsi autem spreverunt me.

KJV ³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

VULC ³ Cognovit bos possessorem suum,
et asinus præsepe domini sui ;
Israël autem me non cognovit,
et populus meus non intellexit.

KJV ⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

VULC ⁴ Væ genti peccatrici,
populo gravi iniquitate,
semini nequam, filiis sceleratis !
dereliquerunt Dominum ;
blasphemaverunt Sanctum Israël ;
abalienati sunt retrorsum.

KJV ⁵ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

VULC ⁵ Super quo percutiam vos ultra, addentes prævaricationem ?
omne caput languidum,
et omne cor mœrens.

KJV ⁶ From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

VULC ⁶ A planta pedis usque ad verticem,
non est in eo sanitas ;
vulnus, et livor, et plaga tumens,
non est circumligata, nec curata medicamine,
neque fota oleo.

KJV ⁷ Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

VULC ⁷ Terra vestra deserta ;
civitates vestræ succensæ igni :
regionem vestram coram vobis alieni devorant,
et desolabitur sicut in vastitate hostili.

KJV ⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

VULC ⁸ Et derelinquetur filia Sion
ut umbraculum in vinea,
et sicut tugurium in cucumerario,
et sicut civitas quæ vastatur.

KJV ⁹ Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

VULC ⁹ Nisi Dominus exercituum
reliquisset nobis semen,
quasi Sodoma fuissemus,
et quasi Gomorrha similes essemus.

KJV ¹⁰ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

VULC ¹⁰ Audite verbum Domini,
principes Sodomorum ;
percipite auribus legem Dei nostri,
populus Gomorrhæ.

KJV ¹¹ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

VULC ¹¹ Quo mihi multitudinem victimarum vestrarum ?
dicit Dominus.
Plenus sum :
holocausta arietum,
et adipem pinguium,
et sanguinem vitulorum et agnorum et hircorum,
nolui.

KJV ¹² When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

VULC ¹² Cum veniretis ante conspectum meum,
quis quæsivit hæc de manibus vestris,
ut ambularetis in atriis meis ?

KJV ¹³ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

VULC ¹³ Ne offeratis ultra sacrificium frustra :
incensum abominatio est mihi.
Neomeniam et sabbatum, et festivitates alias, non feram ;
iniqui sunt cœtus vestri.

KJV ¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

VULC ¹⁴ Calendas vestras, et solemnitates vestras odivit anima mea :
facta sunt mihi molesta ; laboravi sustinens.

KJV ¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

VULC ¹⁵ Et cum extenderitis manus vestras, avertam oculos meos a vobis,
et cum multiplicaveritis orationem, non exaudiam :
manus enim vestræ sanguine plenæ sunt.

KJV ¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

VULC ¹⁶ Lavamini, mundi estote ;
auferte malum cogitationum vestrarum
ab oculis meis :
quiescite agere perverse,

KJV ¹⁷ Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

VULC ¹⁷ discite benefacere ;
quærite judicium, subvenite oppresso,
judicate pupillo, defendite viduam.]

KJV ¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

VULC ¹⁸ [Et venite, et arguite me, dicit Dominus.
Si fuerint peccata vestra ut coccinum,
quasi nix dealbabuntur ;
et si fuerint rubra quasi vermiculus,
velut lana alba erunt.

KJV ¹⁹ If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

VULC ¹⁹ Si volueritis, et audieritis me,
bona terræ comedetis.

KJV ²⁰ But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

VULC ²⁰ Quod si nolueritis, et me ad iracundiam provocaveritis,
gladius devorabit vos,
quia os Domini locutum est.

KJV ²¹ How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

VULC ²¹ Quomodo facta est meretrix
civitas fidelis, plena judicii ?
justitia habitavit in ea,
nunc autem homicidæ.

KJV ²² Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

VULC ²² Argentum tuum versum est in scoriam ;
vinum tuum mistum est aqua.

KJV ²³ Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

VULC ²³ Principes tui infideles,
socii furum.
Omnes diligunt munera,
sequuntur retributiones.
Pupillo non judicant,
et causa viduæ non ingreditur ad illos.

KJV ²⁴ Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

VULC ²⁴ Propter hoc ait Dominus,
Deus exercituum, Fortis Israël :
Heu ! consolabor super hostibus meis,
et vindicabor de inimicis meis.

KJV ²⁵ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

VULC ²⁵ Et convertam manum meam ad te,
et excoquam ad puram scoriam tuam,
et auferam omne stannum tuum.

KJV ²⁶ And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

VULC ²⁶ Et restituam judices tuos ut fuerunt prius,
et consiliarios tuos sicut antiquitus ;
post hæc vocaberis civitas justi,
urbs fidelis.

KJV ²⁷ Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

VULC ²⁷ Sion in judicio redimetur,
et reducent eam in justitia.

KJV ²⁸ And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

VULC ²⁸ Et conteret scelestos, et peccatores simul ;
et qui dereliquerunt Dominum consumentur.

KJV ²⁹ For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

VULC ²⁹ Confundentur enim ab idolis quibus sacrificaverunt,
et erubescetis super hortis quos elegeratis,

KJV ³⁰ For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

VULC ³⁰ cum fueritis velut quercus defluentibus foliis,
et velut hortus absque aqua.

KJV ³¹ And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

VULC ³¹ Et erit fortitudo vestra ut favilla stuppæ,
et opus vestrum quasi scintilla,
et succendetur utrumque simul,
et non erit qui extinguat.]
