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.
KJV
A planta pedis usque ad verticem, non est in eo sanitas ; vulnus, et livor, et plaga tumens, non est circumligata, nec curata medicamine, neque fota oleo.
Vulgate

LXX
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.

You must be convinced not only of your actual sins but of your original sin. We are conceived and born in sin. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint. We are by nature children of wrath, dead in trespasses and sins. Until a man is truly sensible of his original depravity, he can never come to a true knowledge of himself.
