Isaiah 1:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Wickedness of Judah
2 Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth,
for the Lord has spoken:
I reared children and brought them up,
but they have rebelled against me.(A)
3 The ox knows its owner
and the donkey its master’s crib,
but Israel does not know;
my people do not understand.(B)
4 Woe, sinful nation,
people laden with iniquity,
offspring who do evil,
children who act corruptly,
who have forsaken the Lord,
who have despised the Holy One of Israel,
[[who are utterly estranged!]][a](C)
