Isaiah chapter 1 covers the Adam and Eve, Fall, Cain's
Offering, Killing Abel, and Cain's City stories in the book of Genesis.
1The vision of Isaiah, son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah and Jotham and Ahaz and Hezekiah, king of Judah.
Isaiah 1:1 2.1Hear skies and give ear land, I Genesis 1:1
2.2for the Master has spoken, I Genesis 1:3
2.3I have reared and brought up sons I Genesis 1:27
2.4and they have rebelled against me. I Genesis 3:11
3.1The ox knows its owner
3.2and the donkey the crib of its master,
3.3but Israel does not know
3.4and my people do not understand.
Isaiah 1:2-34.1Ah sinful people,
4.2a people laden with iniquity,
4.3a seed of evildoers,
4.4sons that are corrupt.
4.5You have forsaken the Master
4.6and you have provoked the holy one of Israel to anger
4.7and you have gone away backward.
Isaiah 1:45.1Why should you be struck any longer
5.2and be chastised?
5.3The whole head is sick
5.4and the whole heart faint.
6.1From the sole of the foot even to the head
6.2there is no soundness in it,
6.3but wounds and bruises
6.4and swelling sores.
6.5They have not been closed nor bound up
6.6nor softened with oil. I Genesis 3:21
Isaiah 1:5-67.1Your country is desolate
7.2and your cities are burned with fire.
7.3Your land strangers devour
7.4in your presence
7.5and it is desolate as overthrown by strangers. I Genesis 3:23
8.1The daughter of Zion is left
8.2as a tent in a vineyard
8.3and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers
8.4and as a besieged city.
9.1Except the Master of Hosts
9.2had left to us a few survivors
9.3we should have been like Sodom
9.4and we should have been like Gomorrah. Q Romans 9:29
Isaiah 1:7-910.1Hear the word of the Master
10.2you rulers of Sodom
10.3and give ear to the law of our God
10.4you people of Gomorrah.
11.1Of what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me,
11.2says the Master.
11.3I am full of the burnt offerings of rams
11.4and the fat of fed animals
11.5and I do not delight in the blood of bulls
11.6nor of lambs nor of he-goats. I Genesis 4:3
12.1When you come to appear before me
12.2who has required this at your hand
12.3to tread my courts?
13.1Do not bring vain offerings to me any longer.
13.2Their savor is an abomination to me
13.3in the new months and sabbaths you call an assembly.
13.4I do not eat what is obtained wrongfully and taken by force.
14.1Your new months and your appointed feasts
14.2my soul hates.
14.3They are a burden
14.4I am weary to bear.
15.1When you spread forth your hands
15.2I will hide my eyes from you
15.3and though you make many prayers
15.4I will not hear.
Isaiah 1:10-1515.5Your hands are full of blood. I Genesis 4:10
16.1Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean
16.2and put away the evil of your actions
16.3from before my eyes.
16.4Cease to do evil
17.1and learn to do good.
17.2Seek justice
17.3and do good to the oppressed.
17.4Plead for the fatherless
17.5and plead for the widows.
Isaiah 1:15.5-1718.1Now come and let us reason together,
18.2says the Master.
18.3If your sins be as scarlet
18.4they will be as white as snow.
18.5If they be red like crimson
18.6they will be like wool.
19.1If you are willing and obedient
19.2you will eat the good of the land.
20.1If you refuse and rebel
20.2you will be devoured with the sword,
20.3for the mouth of the Master has spoken it.
Isaiah 1:18-2021.1How is the faithful city
21.2become a prostitute.
21.3For once it was full of justice
21.4and righteousness lodged in it,
21.5but now killers. I Genesis 4:17
22.1Your silver has become dross.
22.2Your wine is mixed with water.
23.1Your princes are rebellious
23.2and companions of stealers.
23.3All of them love a bribe
23.4and run after rewards.
23.5They do not plead the cause of the fatherless
23.6nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
Isaiah 1:21-2324.1Therefore, thus says the Master of Masters of Hosts,
24.2the mighty of Israel,
24.3woe, I will avenge myself of my adversaries
24.4and I will take vengeance on my enemies.
25.1I will turn my hand against you
25.2and purge away your rebellious men
25.3and remove all your iniquities.
26.1I will restore your judges as at 1st
26.2and your counsellors as at the beginning
26.3and afterward you will be called
26.4the city of righteousness
26.5and the city of faith.
Isaiah 1:24-2627.1Zion will be redeemed with justice
27.2and her captivity with righteousness.
28.1The destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners will be together
28.2and those who have forsaken the Master will perish.
Isaiah 1:27-2829.1For they will be ashamed
29.2of the idols which they have desired
29.3and they will be confounded
29.4by the witchcraft which they have chosen.
30.1For they will be like an oak whose leaves have fallen
30.2and like a garden that has no water.
31.1Their strength will be like cotton
31.2and their works like a spark
31.3and they will both burn together
31.4and there will not be anyone to quench them. Isaiah 1:29-31 (Isaiah 1 BRB) Isaiah speaks about the skies
and land.
It also says Yahvah reared and brought up sons.
These align with the beginning of Genesis where Yahvah
makes Adam and Eve
(Gen 2:4-7).
Isaiah says The ox knows its owner, and the donkey
its lord's crib.
This matches the way Adam and Eve
rebelled against Yahvah when they listened to the voice
of another, the serpent, and ate from the wrong plate,
the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
(Gen 3:1-5).
Isaiah speaks about the foot
and the head.
These align with what Yahvah says to the serpent
(Gen 3:14-15).
Isaiah says what happened is akin to the story of
Sodom and Gomorrah,
which is a story of angels
driving Lot out of town for his own good and fire from
the sky destroying the cities. In this case a cherubim
drives Adam and Eve from Eden and uses fire to block
returning (Gen 3:24).
Isaiah says I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed animals; and I do not delight in the blood
of bulls, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
This aligns with
the story of Cain's offering
(Gen 4:3-5).
Isaiah says your hands are full of blood.
This
aligns with Cain killing Abel in the field
(Gen 4:8-15).
Isaiah says once it was full of justice; and righteousness
lodged in it, but now murderers.
This aligns with the city
Cain built
(Gen 4:16-17).
