Isaiah 1:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ Woe, sinful nation,
    people laden with iniquity,
offspring who do evil,
    children who act corruptly,
who have forsaken the Lord,
    who have despised the Holy One of Israel,
    [[who are utterly estranged!]]^[a](A)

⁵ Why do you seek further beatings?
    Why do you continue to rebel?
The whole head is injured,
    and the whole heart faint.^(B)
6 From the sole of the foot to the head,
    there is no soundness in it,
only bruises and sores
    and bleeding wounds;
they have not been drained or bound up
    or softened with oil.^(C)
