Isaiah 1:4-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,
[a](A)Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who (B)act corruptly!
They have (C)abandoned the Lord,
They have (D)despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [b]from Him.
5 Where will you be stricken again,
As you (E)continue in your rebellion?
The whole head is (F)sick
And the whole heart is faint.
6 (G)From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is (H)nothing sound in it,
Only bruises, welts and raw wounds,
(I)Not pressed out or bandaged,
Nor softened with oil.

Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.

And their priests and their prophets,

New American Standard Bible 1995
17 But rather we will certainly (A)carry out every word that has proceeded from our mouths, [a]by burning [b]sacrifices to the (B)queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, just as (C)we ourselves, our forefathers, our kings and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had (D)plenty of [c]food and were well off and saw no [d]misfortune.
