Isaiah 1:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity: a [a]seed of the wicked, corrupt children: they have forsaken the Lord: they have provoked the [b]Holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backward.
5 Wherefore should ye be [c]smitten anymore? for ye fall away more and more: the whole [d]head is sick, and the whole heart is heavy.
6 From the [e]sole of the foot unto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they have not been wrapped, [f]nor bound up nor mollified with oil.

Isaiah 1:4-6
New International Version
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,(A)
a brood of evildoers,(B)
children given to corruption!(C)
They have forsaken(D) the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One(E) of Israel
and turned their backs(F) on him.
5 Why should you be beaten(G) anymore?
Why do you persist(H) in rebellion?(I)
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart(J) afflicted.(K)
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head(L)
there is no soundness(M)—
only wounds and welts(N)
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged(O)
or soothed with olive oil.(P)
