Isaiah 1:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 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.
5 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.
6 (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.

Nor does the widow’s case come before them.
