Isaiah 3:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷“But^[a] at that time,^[b] he’ll protest!^[c]
He’ll say, ‘I won’t be your healer.
I have neither food nor clothing in my house!
You’re not going to make me a leader of the people!’

⁸“For Jerusalem has stumbled,
and Judah has fallen,
because what they say and do opposes^[d] the Lord;
they keep defying him.^[e]

⁹“The expressions on their faces give them away.^[f]
    They parade their sin around like Sodom;
        they don’t even try to^[g] hide it.
How horrible it will be for them,
    because they have brought disaster on themselves!”

King James Version

⁷In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.

⁸For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

⁹The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;

Woe to their soul!
