Isaiah 1:2-9
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Hear, O [a]heavens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath said, I have nourished and brought up [b]children, but they have rebelled against me.
3 The [c]ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known: my people hath not understood.
4 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity: a [d]seed of the wicked, corrupt children: they have forsaken the Lord: they have provoked the [e]Holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backward.
5 Wherefore should ye be [f]smitten anymore? for ye fall away more and more: the whole [g]head is sick, and the whole heart is heavy.
6 From the [h]sole of the foot unto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they have not been wrapped, [i]nor bound up nor mollified with oil.
7 Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate like the overthrow of [j]strangers.
8 And the daughter of [k]Zion shall remain like a cottage in a vineyard, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts [l]had reserved unto us even a small remnant, we should have been [m]as Sodom, and should have been like unto Gomorrah.
