Isaías 1:4
When Isaiah calls them "evil seed," he does not mean to insult the ancestors of those to whom he was speaking. Rather he was denouncing their own wickedness, just as John the Baptist called the Jewish leaders "a brood of vipers" and the Lord called them "an evil and adulterous generation." They were called these things because they did not preserve the virtuous life of those who went before them. — COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH 1:4
Isaías 1:5
Isaiah calls the kings and the leaders the heads and the priests and teachers the heart. For what the heart is to the body, the priests and teachers are for the people, and what the head is for the body, the kings and leaders are for their subjects. — COMMENTARY ON ISAIAH 1:5
