Oh, sinful nation,
People weighed down with guilt,
[a](A)Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who (B)act corruptly!
They have (C)abandoned the Lord,
They have (D)despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [b]from Him.

Where will you be stricken again,
As you (E)continue in your rebellion?
The entire head is (F)sick
And the entire heart is faint.
(G)From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is (H)nothing healthy in it,
Only bruises, slashes, and raw wounds;
(I)Not pressed out nor bandaged,
Nor softened with oil.
