4  Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly; they have forsaken YHWH, they have contemned the Holy One of Israel, they are turned away backward.

4  Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: ye have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

4  Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.

5  On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;

5  Why should ye be smitten any more, transgressing more and more? the whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.

5  For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.
