Isaiah 1:4-9

⁴Woe to the sinful folk, to the people heavy in wickedness, to the wayward seed, to the cursed sons; they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy of Israel, they be alienated away backward.

⁵On what thing shall I smite you more, that increase trespassing? Each head is sick, and each heart is mourning.

⁶From the sole of the foot till to the noll, health is not therein; wound, and wanness, and beating swelling that is not bound about, neither cured by medicine, neither nursed with oil.

⁷Your land is forsaken, your cities be burnt by fire; aliens devour your country before you, and it shall be desolate as in the destroying of enemies.

⁸And the daughter of Zion, that is, Jerusalem, shall be forsaken as a shadowing place in a vineyard, and as an hulk in a place where gourds waxed, and as a city which is wasted.

⁹If the Lord of hosts had not left seed to us, we had been as Sodom, and we had been like as Gomorrah.
