Isaiah 1:6
Isaiah 1:6 in Multiple Translations
From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness— only wounds and welts and festering sores neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.
The body, from head to foot, is all diseased; it is a mass of open wounds, marks of blows, and broken flesh: the flow of blood has not been stopped, and no oil has been put on the wounds.
You're injured from head to toe, bruised and sore, with open wounds that haven't been cleaned or bandaged or treated with olive oil.
From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.
From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.

From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.
It is as though [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no olive oil has been put on them to heal them.

Context — Judah’s Rebellion
4Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who act corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.
5Why do you want more beatings? Why do you keep rebelling? Your head has a massive wound, and your whole heart is afflicted.
6From the sole of your foot to the top of your head, there is no soundness— only wounds and welts and festering sores neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil.
7Your land is desolate; your cities are burned with fire. Foreigners devour your fields before you— a desolation demolished by strangers. 8And the Daughter of Zion is abandoned like a shelter in a vineyard, like a shack in a cucumber field, like a city besieged.Cross References

Isaiah 1:6 Summary
[Isaiah 1:6 is a powerful picture of what happens when we turn away from God and towards sin. The 'wounds and welts' in this verse represent the damage that sin does to our lives, and the fact that they are 'neither cleansed nor bandaged nor soothed with oil' means that we are not taking care of these spiritual wounds. This is similar to what Jesus teaches in Matthew 9:12-13, where He emphasizes the need for healing and restoration. Just like our physical bodies need care and attention when we are hurt, our spiritual lives need the care and attention of God's love and forgiveness, as seen in Psalm 51:7-10.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the meaning of the wounds and welts in Isaiah 1:6?
The wounds and welts in Isaiah 1:6 symbolize the spiritual and moral decay of the nation, as they have turned away from God and towards sin, as seen in Isaiah 1:4, and this condition is also reflected in the New Testament, where Jesus teaches that we must repent and turn to Him for healing, as in Matthew 9:12-13.
Is this verse talking about physical or spiritual wounds?
While the language used in Isaiah 1:6 is physical, the context suggests that the wounds are primarily spiritual, representing the damage caused by sin and rebellion against God, as stated in Isaiah 1:4, and this is similar to the concept of spiritual sickness in Psalm 38:3-8.
How can we apply this verse to our personal lives?
We can apply Isaiah 1:6 to our lives by recognizing the spiritual wounds that sin can cause and seeking healing and restoration through repentance and faith in God, as taught in 1 John 1:9 and Psalm 51:7-10.
What is the significance of the image of no soundness from the sole of the foot to the top of the head?
The image in Isaiah 1:6 emphasizes the completeness of the nation's spiritual decay, indicating that every aspect of their being is affected by sin, much like the comprehensive nature of God's redemption through Jesus Christ, as described in Colossians 1:19-20.
Reflection Questions
- What are the 'wounds and welts' in my own life that I have not allowed God to heal?
- How have I turned away from God, and what are the consequences of that turning, as seen in Isaiah 1:4-6?
- What does it mean for me to be 'cleansed, bandaged, and soothed with oil' in terms of my spiritual health, as hinted at in Isaiah 1:6?
- In what ways can I seek God's healing and restoration in my life, as encouraged in Psalm 107:20 and Matthew 11:28?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 1:6
From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it,.... Every member of the body politic was afflicted in one way or another, or sadly infected with the disease of sin; see Psalms 28:3.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 1:6
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 1:6
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; you have been all of you punished, from the highest to the lowest, from the worst to the best. They have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment; I have suffered you to lie under your maladies for a time, without applying any remedies, to try whether the length and continuance of your affliction might not work that cure which the strength of it could not do, but all in vain.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 1:6
Isaiah 1:6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.Ver. 6. From the sole of the foot.] Totum est pro vulnere corpus, The whole body politic was deadly diseased, and it was our prophet’ s unhappiness to be the physician to a dying state; Tunc etenim docta plus valet arte malum. There is no soundness.] Nec sanitas in corpore, nec sanctitas in corde. Heu, heu, Domine Deus. Neither soundness in body nor soundness in heart, Alas, alas oh God, God. But wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores.] And those also such as would not be cured, but called for cutting off. Immedicabile vulnus ense recidendum est. They have not been closed.] Neither will be. Non est malagma imponere, say the Septuagint here. You will not endure to have them searched or suppled: what hope therefore of healing?
If the Sun of righteousness shall shine upon us with healing under his wings, we must repent and believe the gospel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 1:6
Verse 6. They have not been closed, c. - "It hath not been pressed," c.] The pharmaceutical art in the East consists chiefly in external applications: accordingly the prophet's images in this place are all taken from surgery. Sir John Chardin, in his note on Proverbs 3:8, "It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones," observes that "the comparison is taken from the plasters, ointments, oils, and frictions, which are made use of in the East upon the belly and stomach in most maladies. Being ignorant in the villages of the art of making decoctions and potions, and of the proper doses of such things, they generally make use of external medicines." - Harmer's Observations on Scripture, vol. ii. p. 488. And in surgery their materia medica is extremely simple, oil making the principal part of it. "In India," says Tavernier, "they have a certain preparation of oil and melted grease, which they commonly use for the healing of wounds." Voyage Ind. So the good Samaritan poured oil and wine on the wounds of the distressed Jew: wine, cleansing and somewhat astringent, proper for a fresh wound oil, mollifying and healing, Lu 10:34. Kimchi has a judicious remark here: "When various medicines are applied, and no healing takes place, that disorder is considered as coming immediately from God." Of the three verbs in this sentence, one is in the singular number in the text another is singular in two MSS., (one of them ancient,) חבשה chubbeshah; and the Syriac and Vulgate render all of them in the singular number.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 1:6
6. The state of the nation is indeed desperate; no remedial measures have yet been applied. In the simple surgery of Isaiah’s time a wound was first pressed (to extrude suppurating matter), then bandaged and softened with oil (cf. Luke 10:34).
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 1:6
From the sole of the foot ... - Or is we say, ‘from head to foot,’ that is, in every part of the body. There may be included also the idea that this extended from the lowest to the highest among the people.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 1:6
5, 6. Why should… more — It is doubtful whether the question in Hebrew is, “For what reason should ye,” or, “Upon what part will ye,” be stricken any more?
