“Your country is desolate.Your cities are burned with fire.Strangers devour your land in your presenceand it is desolate,as overthrown by strangers.”
Isaiah 1:7 (WEB)
Context Reading
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,but 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 presenceand 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.
