Isaiah 1:5 - Compare All Versions

Share

Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted.

Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Why do you continue to invite punishment? Must you rebel forever? Your head is injured, and your heart is sick.

Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep on rebelling? The whole head is hurt, and the whole heart is sick.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

Why should you be stricken again? You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faints.

“Why bother even trying to do anything with you when you just keep to your bullheaded ways? You keep beating your heads against brick walls. Everything within you protests against you. From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head, nothing’s working right. Wounds and bruises and running sores— untended, unwashed, unbandaged. Your country is laid waste, your cities burned down. Your land is destroyed by outsiders while you watch, reduced to rubble by barbarians. Daughter Zion is deserted— like a tumbledown shack on a dead-end street, Like a tarpaper shanty on the wrong side of the tracks, like a sinking ship abandoned by the rats. If GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies hadn’t left us a few survivors, we’d be as desolate as Sodom, doomed just like Gomorrah.

¶Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The entire head is sick And the entire heart is faint.

¶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.

Why do you insist on being battered? Why do you continue to rebel? Your head has a massive wound, your whole body is weak.
