Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Isaiah 1:5 in context
Isaiah 1:2–8
2
Hear, heavens,
and listen, earth; for the LORD has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children
and they have rebelled against me.
3
The ox knows his owner,
and the donkey his master’s crib;
but Israel doesn’t know.
My people don’t consider.”
4
Ah sinful nation,
a people loaded with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the LORD.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They are estranged and backward.
5
Selected verse
Why should you be beaten more,
that you revolt more and more?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
6
From 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.
7
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.
