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!”
