Where will you be stricken again,
As you (A)continue in your rebellion?
The entire head is (B)sick
And the entire heart is faint.
(C)From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is (D)nothing healthy in it,
Only bruises, slashes, and raw wounds;
(E)Not pressed out nor bandaged,
Nor softened with oil.

Your (F)land is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
As for your fields, strangers are devouring them in front of you;
It is desolation, as overthrown by strangers.
The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a city under watch.
(G)If the Lord of armies
Had not left us a few (H)survivors,
We would be like (I)Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.

God Has Had Enough

10 Hear (J)the word of the Lord,
You rulers of (K)Sodom;
Listen to the instruction of our God,
You people of Gomorrah!
11 (L)What are your many sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I [a]have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fattened cattle;
And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats.
