Isaiah 1:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

Warnings for Jerusalem

⁸ The city of Jerusalem^[a] is now like an empty shed left in a vineyard. It is like an old straw hut abandoned in a field of cucumbers or like a city surrounded by enemies. ⁹ If the Lord All-Powerful had not allowed a few people to live, we would have been destroyed completely like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. And that almost happened!

¹⁰ You officers of Sodom, listen to the Lord’s message. You people of Gomorrah,^[b] listen to God’s teaching.
