Isaiah 1:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Your country is deserted,
    your cities burned with fire;
    your land—strangers are devouring it in plain sight.
    It’s a wasteland, as when foreigners raid.
⁸ Daughter Zion is left like a small shelter in a vineyard,
    like a hut in a cucumber field,
    like a city besieged.^[a]
9 If the Lord of heavenly forces had not spared a few of us,
    we would be like Sodom; we would resemble Gomorrah.
