In the context of Isaiah, it reflects the complete moral and spiritual corruption of the people of Judah. The imagery of the entire body being affected suggests that there is no part of the nation that remains untainted by sin. This comprehensive depiction of corruption can be compared to other biblical passages that describe the pervasive nature of sin, such as <a href="/romans/3-10.htm">Romans 3:10-18</a>, which speaks of the universal sinfulness of humanity.there is no soundness— The absence of soundness indicates a lack of health or wholeness. In a spiritual sense, this suggests that the people of Judah are entirely devoid of righteousness and integrity. The term "soundness" can also be understood as peace or completeness, which is absent due to their rebellion against God. This aligns with the broader biblical theme that sin leads to brokenness and separation from God, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/59-2.htm">Isaiah 59:2</a>.only wounds and welts and festering sores The vivid imagery of physical afflictions symbolizes the spiritual and moral decay of the nation. Wounds, welts, and sores represent the consequences of sin and rebellion. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such physical ailments were often seen as a sign of divine judgment. This imagery is consistent with the covenant curses outlined in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-15.htm">Deuteronomy 28:15-68</a>, where disobedience to God's law results in various afflictions.neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil. The lack of cleansing, bandaging, or soothing with oil indicates neglect and a failure to address the underlying issues. In ancient times, oil was used for healing and soothing wounds, symbolizing care and restoration. The absence of these actions suggests that the people have not sought repentance or healing from God. This neglect is a metaphor for their spiritual state, where they have not turned to God for forgiveness and restoration. The imagery of healing is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus is described as the Great Physician who heals both physical and spiritual ailments (<a href="/mark/2-17.htm">Mark 2:17</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book that bears his name.

From top to bottom, the body corporate is diseased throughout - there is no soundness in it (cf. <a href="/psalms/38-3.htm">Psalm 38:3, 7</a>) - all is one wound, one livid bruise, one festering sore. Note the use of the singular number in the original. They have not been closed; literally, they have not been pressed; which is explained to mean (Aben Ezra, Kay) that they have not had the matter formed by suppuration pressed out of them. Neither bound up; i.e. not bandaged, Neither mollified with ointment; rather, with oil. On the treatment of wounds and ulcers with oil m ancient times, see 'Hippocrat., De Ulceri. bus,' § 4; Galen., 'De Compos. Medic.,' § 2; and comp. <a href="/luke/10-34.htm">Luke 10:34</a>. Recent medical science has revived the practice, and wounds of all kinds are now frequently treated with nothing but carbolic oil. The general sentiment of the entire passage is that there has been no medical treatment of the wounds of any kind; they have been left to themselves, to spread corruption over the whole body - no attempt has been made to cure them. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/1-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>From the sole מִכַּף־ (mik·kap̄-) Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3709.htm">Strong's 3709: </a> Hollow or flat of the hand, palm, sole (of the foot), a pan of your foot רֶ֤גֶל (re·ḡel) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7272.htm">Strong's 7272: </a> A foot, a step, the pudenda to the top וְעַד־ (wə·‘aḏ-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> As far as, even to, up to, until, while of your head, רֹאשׁ֙ (rōš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7218.htm">Strong's 7218: </a> The head [there is] no אֵֽין־ (’ên-) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> A non-entity, a negative particle soundness— מְתֹ֔ם (mə·ṯōm) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4974.htm">Strong's 4974: </a> Wholesomeness, completely only wounds פֶּ֥צַע (pe·ṣa‘) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6482.htm">Strong's 6482: </a> A bruise, wound and welts וְחַבּוּרָ֖ה (wə·ḥab·bū·rāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2250.htm">Strong's 2250: </a> A stripe, blow and festering טְרִיָּ֑ה (ṭə·rî·yāh) Adjective - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2961.htm">Strong's 2961: </a> Dripping, fresh sores וּמַכָּ֣ה (ū·mak·kāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4347.htm">Strong's 4347: </a> A wound, carnage, pestilence not לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no cleansed זֹ֙רוּ֙ (zō·rū) Verb - QalPass - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2115.htm">Strong's 2115: </a> To press together, tighten [or] וְלֹ֣א (wə·lō) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no bandaged חֻבָּ֔שׁוּ (ḥub·bā·šū) Verb - Pual - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2280.htm">Strong's 2280: </a> To wrap firmly, to stop, to rule or soothed רֻכְּכָ֖ה (ruk·kə·ḵāh) Verb - Pual - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7401.htm">Strong's 7401: </a> To be tender, weak or soft with oil. בַּשָּֽׁמֶן׃ (baš·šā·men) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8081.htm">Strong's 8081: </a> Grease, liquid, richness <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/1-6.htm">Isaiah 1:6 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/1-6.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 1:6 From the sole of the foot even (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/1-5.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 1:5"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 1:5" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/1-7.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 1:7"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 1:7" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
