Through The Prophets Verse By Verse (Isaiah-Malachi)

[Zakon]

Hello friends,

We have several "through the Bible" threads and, personally, I find them very beneficial; so, I've decided to start a "Through The Prophets" [Isaiah through Malachi] thread in order to give some attention to that very important portion of the Bible, as well. I realize at some point there will be duplication with some of the other threads....

In any case, I'll begin:

Isaiah 1:1

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Great idea, Zakon.

Isaiah 1:2

Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
"I reared children and brought them up,
but they have rebelled against me.

 

[Zakon]

Hi Joyshirley

Isaiah 1:3 NASB:

"An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master's manger, But Israel does not know, My people do not understand."

Hi, Zakon

Isaiah 1:4

Ah, sinful nation,
a people loaded with guilt,
a brood of evildoers,
children given to corruption!
They have forsaken the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One of Israel
and turned their backs on him.

 

[LITB]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Isaiah 1:5
Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.[/font]
