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 hYour 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 ias a 5booth in a vineyard,

As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,

jAs a besieged city.

9 kUnless the Lord of hosts

Had left to us a very small remnant,

We would have become like lSodom,

We would have been made like Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord,

You rulers mof Sodom;

Give ear to the law of our God,

You people of Gomorrah:

11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your nsacrifices 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.
