Isaiah 1:7-9
New King James Version
7 (A)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 So the daughter of Zion is left (B)as a [a]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(C)As a besieged city.
9 (D)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (E)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
