Isaiah 1:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Your land is ruined.
    Your cities have been burned with fire.
While you watch,
    your enemies are stealing everything from your land.
    Your land is ruined like a country destroyed by enemies.
⁸ Jerusalem is left alone
    like an empty shelter in a vineyard.
It is like a hut left in a field of melons.
    It is like a city surrounded by enemies.
⁹ The Lord of heaven’s armies
    allowed a few of our people to live.
    Otherwise we would have been completely destroyed
    like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
