Isaiah 1:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ Why should you be beaten again,
    that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
    and the whole heart faint.
⁶ From the sole of the foot even to the head
    there is no soundness in it.
Wounds, bruises,
    and open sores;
they have not been closed,
    nor bandaged, nor soothed with oil.

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