Woe, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who corrupt! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger; they have gone away backward. |
5
|

6
|
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; only a wound and a stripe and a fresh blow; they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor soothed with oil. |
7
|
Your land is wasted, your cities burned with fire. Strangers devour your land right before your eyes, and it is wasted, as overthrown by strangers. |
8
|

Except Jehovah of Hosts had left us a very small remnant, we would be as Sodom; we would be like Gomorrah. |

When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts? |

16
|
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes; cease to do evil; |

18
|
Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah; though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. |
19

27
|
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her returning ones with righteousness. |
28
|
And the downfall of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together; and those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed. |
29
|
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be ashamed for the gardens which you have chosen. |
30

For you shall be like an oak whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water. |
31
|
