Isaiah 1:3-5
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
3 The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s feeding trough,
but Israel does not know;
my people do not understand.’(A)
4 Oh sinful nation,
people weighed down with iniquity,(B)
brood of evildoers,(C)
depraved children!
They have abandoned(D) the Lord;
they have despised(E) the Holy One of Israel;(F)
they have turned their backs on him.
5 Why do you want more beatings?
Why do you keep on rebelling?
The whole head is hurt,
and the whole heart is sick.

Isaiah 1:3-5
King James Version
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
