6. From the sole of your foot to the top of your headthere is no soundness –only wounds and bruisesand open sores,not cleansed or bandagedor soothed with oil.
7. Your country is desolate,your cities burned with fire;your fields are being stripped by foreignersright before you,laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.
8. Daughter Zion is leftlike a shelter in a vineyard,like a hut in a cucumber field,like a city under siege.
9. Unless the Lord Almightyhad left us some survivors,we would have become like Sodom,we would have been like Gomorrah.
