Isaiah 1:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ Oh, what a sinful nation! Their guilt is like a heavy weight that they must carry. They are evil, destructive children.^[a] They left the Lord and insulted the Holy One of Israel. They turned away and treated him like a stranger.

⁵ What good will it do to keep punishing you? You will continue to rebel. Your whole head and heart are already sick and aching.^{[b] 6} From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head, every part of your body has wounds, cuts, and open sores. You have not taken care of them. Your wounds have not been cleaned and bandaged.
