4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people1 la1den with iniquity,
aA brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.

5 aWhy should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.

7 aYour 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 aas a booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
bAs a besieged city.

9 aUnless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like bSodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like bSodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
