Why should you be beaten anymore...?
why do you persist in
rebellion?
Your whole head is
injured, your whole heart
afflicted...
there is no
soundness-----
only wounds and welts and open sores... Your country is desolate
your cities burned with
fire
your fields are being stripped
by foreigners right before you
laid waste as when overthrown by
strangers... Stop bringing meaningless offerings!
Your incense is detestable to me
I cannot bear your evil assemblies
They have become a burden to me
I am weary of bearing them... People will oppress one another-----man against man, neighbor against neighbor
The young will rise up aganst the old
the base against the honorable...
Isaiah 1-3
