Isaiah 1:7

WEB

Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Context

4Ah sinful nation, a people loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.

5Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

7Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Strangers devour your land in your presence and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of melons, like a besieged city.

9Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

10Hear Yahweh’s word, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah!
