English Standard Version
The Wickedness of Judah
2 (A)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O (B)earth;
for the Lord has spoken:
“Children[a] (C)have I reared and brought up,
but they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox (D)knows its owner,
and the donkey its master's crib,
but Israel does (E)not know,
my people do not understand.”
4 Ah, sinful nation,
a people laden with iniquity,
(F)offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they have (G)despised (H)the Holy One of Israel,
they are utterly (I)estranged.

I will send my (G)beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’ 14 But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, (H)‘This is the heir. (I)Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’ 15 And they (J)threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 (K)He will (L)come and destroy those tenants and (M)give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17 But he (N)looked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:

(I)for you delighted in them.
