Isaiah 1:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ Jerusalem is left alone
    like an empty shelter in a vineyard.
It is like a hut left in a field of melons.
    It is like a city surrounded by enemies.
⁹ The Lord of heaven’s armies
    allowed a few of our people to live.
    Otherwise we would have been completely destroyed
    like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
