1-37:37
Ἵνα δὲ καὶ τοῦτο ὑμῖν φανερὸν γένηται, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ πατρὸς ἐλέχθησαν διὰ Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προειρημένου προφήτου οἵδε οἱ λόγοι· Ἔγνω βοῦς τὸν κτησάμενον καὶ ὄνος τὴν φάτνην τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, Ἰσραὴλ δέ με οὐκ ἔγνω καὶ ὁ λαός μου οὐ συνῆκεν. Οὐαὶ ἔθνος ἁμαρτωλόν, λαὸς πλήρης ἁμαρτιῶν. σπέρμα πονηρόν, υἱοὶ ἄνομοι· ἐγκατελίπετε τὸν κύριον. Καὶ πάλιν ἀλλαχοῦ, ὅταν λέγῃ ὁ αὐτὸς προφήτης ὁμοίως ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ πατρός· Ποῖόν μοι οἶκον οἰκοδομήσετε; λέγει κύριος.Ὁ οὐρανός μοι θρόνος, καὶ ἡ γῆ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν μου. Καὶ πάλιν ἀλλαχοῦ· Τὰς νουμηνίας ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ σάββατα μισεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου, καὶ μεγάλην ἡμέραν νηστείας καὶ ἀργίαν οὐκ ἀνέχομαι· οὐδ᾿, ἂν ἔρχησθε ὀφθῆναί μοι, εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν. Πλήρεις αἵματος αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν. Κἂν φέρητε σεμίδαλιν, θυμίαμα, βδέλυγμά μοί ἐστι· στέαρ ἀρνῶν καὶ αἷμα ταύρων οὐ βούλομαι. Τὶς γὰρ ἐξεζήτησε ταῦτα ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ὑμῶν; Ἀλλὰ διάλυε πάντα σύνδεσμον ἀδικίας, διάσπα στραγγαλιὰς βιαίων συναλλαγμάτων, ἄστεγον καὶ γυμνὸν σκέπε, διάθρυπτε πεινῶντι τὸν ἄρτον σου. Ὁποῖα μὲν οἶν ἐστι καὶ τὰ διδασκόμενα διὰ τῶν προφητῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θεοῖ, νοεῖν δύνασθε
為要叫這事在你們面前顯明，藉前面所提的先知以賽亞，曾以父的身分說了以下的話：「牛認識主人，驢認識主人的槽，以色列卻不認識我，我的民竟不留意。禍哉，犯罪的國民，擔負罪孽的百姓，行惡的種類，敗壞的兒女；你們離棄了耶和華。」同一位先知又在別處同樣以父的身分說：「耶和華說，你們要為我造怎樣的殿宇呢？天是我的座位，地是我的腳凳。」又在別處說：「你們的月朔和安息日，我心裡恨惡；大齋戒之日與安息之日，我也不能容忍；你們來朝見我，我也不垂聽。你們的手滿了血。你們縱然獻上細麵、香料，於我也是可憎的；公羊的脂油、公牛的血，我都不喜悅。誰向你們的手要這些呢？倒要解開一切不義的綑綁，扯斷強暴契約的結，收留無家可歸的和赤身的，把你的餅分給飢餓的人。」這樣，藉眾先知從神的身分所教導的是怎樣的事，你們便能明白了。
And that this also may become plain to you, the following words were spoken from the person of the Father through Isaiah the aforementioned prophet: "The ox knew its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel did not know me, and my people did not understand. Woe to the sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless sons; you have forsaken the Lord." And again in another place, when the same prophet speaks likewise from the person of the Father: "What kind of house will you build for me? says the Lord. Heaven is my throne, and the earth is the footstool of my feet." And again elsewhere: "My soul hates your new moons and your sabbaths, and I cannot endure the great fast-day and the day of rest; nor, if you come to be seen by me, will I listen to you. Your hands are full of blood. Even if you bring fine flour and incense, it is an abomination to me; the fat of lambs and the blood of bulls I do not desire. For who has required these things from your hands? But loose every bond of injustice, tear apart the knots of forced contracts, shelter the homeless and the naked, break your bread to the hungry." What kind of things, then, are also taught through the prophets from the person of God, you are able to understand.
