1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, heavens,and listen, earth; for the Lord has spoken:“I have nourished and brought up children,and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows his owner,and the donkey his master’s crib;but Israel doesn’t know,my people don’t consider.”
4 Ah sinful nation,a people loaded with iniquity,offspring of evildoers,children who deal corruptly!They have forsaken the Lord.They have despised the Holy One of Israel.They are estranged and backward.
5 Why should you be beaten more,that you revolt more and more?The whole head is sick,and the whole heart faint.
