Isaiah 1:5

Rebellious Judah

⁴
Ah, sinful nation,
A people loaded down with wickedness [with sin, with injustice, with wrongdoing],
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who behave corruptly!
They have abandoned (rejected) the Lord,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel [provoking Him to anger],
They have turned away from Him. ⁵ 
Why should you be stricken and punished again [since no change results from it]?
You [only] continue to rebel.
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint and sick.
⁶
From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is nothing healthy in the nation’s body,
Only bruises, welts, and raw wounds,
Not pressed out or bandaged,
Nor softened with oil [as a remedy].

Heart is Faint

Turn Aside

Body Is Weak

Heart Is Sick

O Lord, do not Your eyes look for truth?

But they refused to take correction or instruction.

They have refused to repent and return to You.

Your rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves bribes
And chases after gifts.

Isaiah 9:21

[The tribe of] Manasseh devours [the tribe of his brother] Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh,

But His hand is still stretched out [in judgment].

“I will go to the great [men]
And speak to them,
For they [must] know the way of the Lord,

And had burst the bonds [of obedience to Him].

And the priests rule on their own authority;
And My people love [to have] it so!
