4 Oh sinful nation,
|
||||
people weighed down with iniquity,
|
||||
brood of evildoers,
|
||||
depraved children!
|
||||
They have abandoned the Lord;
|
||||
they have despised the Holy One of Israel;
|
||||
they have turned their backs on him.

|
||||
no spot is uninjured—

||||
or soothed with oil.
