Isaiah 1:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ ·How terrible [Woe; Alas]! ·Israel is a nation of sin [^LSinful nation!],
    a people ·loaded [weighed] down with guilt,
·a group of children [offspring; brood; seed] ·doing evil [or born from evildoers],
    ·children [or sons] who ·are full of evil [act corruptly; are depraved].
They have ·left [abandoned; forsaken] the Lord;
    they ·hate [despise; or have rejected/spurned] the Holy One of Israel [^CIsaiah’s favorite title for God],
and have ·turned away [become alienated/estranged] from him.

⁵ Why ·should you continue to be [or do you insist on being] ·punished [battered; struck down]?
    Why do you continue to ·turn against him [rebel]?
Your whole head is ·hurt [bruised; wounded],
    and your whole heart is ·sick [faint; weak].
⁶ There is no ·healthy spot [soundness]
    from the ·bottom [sole] of your foot to the top of your head;
    you are covered with ·wounds [bruises], ·hurts [sores; welts], and ·open sores [raw/infected wounds]
that are not ·cleaned [^Lpressed out] and ·covered [bandaged],
    ·and no medicine takes away the pain [^Lnot soothed/softened with oil].
