Isaiah 1:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ From your head to your toes
    there isn't a healthy spot.
Bruises, cuts, and open sores
go without care
    or oil to ease the pain.

⁷ Your country lies in ruins;
    your towns are in ashes.
Foreigners and strangers
take and destroy your land
    while you watch.
⁸ Enemies surround Jerusalem,
alone like a hut
    in a vineyard^[a]
    or in a cucumber field.
