Isaiah 1:6-8
New Catholic Bible
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.
7 Your country is a desolate waste,
and fire has destroyed your cities.
Before your very eyes
foreigners have devoured your land
and left it as desolate
as Sodom after it had been overthrown.
8 Daughter Zion[a] is left
like a shack in a vineyard,
like a shed in a field of cucumbers,
like a besieged city.
