Isaiah 1:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 1:8

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.

10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers ^aof Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:

11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your ^asacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.

12 “When you come ^ato appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
