Isaiah 1:5-10

⁵Why should ye be smitten anymore, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.

⁶From the feet to the head, there is no soundness in them; neither wound, nor bruise, nor festering ulcer are healed: it is not possible to apply a plaster, nor oil, nor bandages.

⁷Your land is desolate, your cities burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is made desolate, overthrown by strange nations.

⁸The daughter of Zion shall be deserted as a tent in a vineyard, and as a storehouse of fruits in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

⁹And if the Lord of Sabaoth had not left us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been made like to Gomorrah.

¹⁰Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; attend to the law of God, thou people of Gomorrah.
