Isaiah 1:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Wickedness of Judah

²Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth;
    for the Lord has spoken:
I reared children and brought them up,
    but they have rebelled against me.
³The ox knows its owner,
    and the donkey its master’s crib;
but Israel does not know,
    my people do not understand.

⁴Ah, sinful nation,
    people laden with iniquity,
offspring who do evil,
    children who deal corruptly,
who have forsaken the Lord,
    who have despised the Holy One of Israel,
    who are utterly estranged!
