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.

Commentary
Commentary on Isaiah 1:6
Theological / DevotionalNo soundness in it. The entire body suffers. Wherever Isaiah looked in Jerusalem and Judah he saw evidences of the results of transgression.
Putrifying sores. That is, open, festering, and bleeding sores. Sin is a loathsome thing that defies human remedies. It produces, as it were, a mass of infected, open sores filled with purulent matter and neither bandaged nor treated with “ointment” — commonly olive oil in Palestine. Not only is Israel inwardly sick, but outwardly it reveals the fearful effects of the poison that has been at work. The nation is in a critical, disordered state; the patient is about to perish in his loathsome condition.
