Context of Isaiah 1:8
6From the sole of the foot even to the head, no spot is uninjured — wounds, welts, and festering sores not cleansed, bandaged, or soothed with oil. 7Your land is desolate, your cities burned down; foreigners devour your fields right in front of you — a desolation, like a place demolished by foreigners. Daughter Zion is abandoned like a shelter in a vineyard, like a shack in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. 9If the Lord of Armies had not left us a few survivors, we would be like Sodom, we would resemble Gomorrah. 10Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8And the daughter of Zion - Zion, or Sion, was the name of one of the hills on which the city of Jerusalem was built.
