Isaiah 1:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³The ox knows its owner,
and the ass its master’s crib;
but Israel does not know,
my people does not understand.”

⁴Ah, sinful nation,
    a people laden with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers,
    sons who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
    they have despised the Holy One of Israel,
    they are utterly estranged.

⁵Why will you still be smitten,
that you continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
