Isaiah 1:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ You are a sinful nation,
    a people weighed down with iniquity,
a race of evildoers
    whose children are corrupt;
you have forsaken the Lord,
    despised the Holy One of Israel,
    and turned your backs on him.
^{5     [a]}Why do you continue to seek further beatings?
    Why do you persist in your rebellion?
Your entire head is sick
    and your whole heart is faint.
⁶ From the sole of your foot to your head
    there is not a single healthy area
nothing but bruises and welts and open sores
    that have not been drained or bandaged
    or soothed with ointment.
