Isaiah 1:2-4

New Catholic Bible

^2 [a]Listen, O heavens, and pay close attention, O earth,
    for the Lord is speaking.
I reared children and brought them up,
    but they have rebelled against me.
³ An ox knows its owner
    and the donkey its master’s stall,
but Israel does not know,
    my people do not understand.
⁴ You are a sinful nation,
    a people weighed down with iniquity,
a race of evildoers
    whose children are corrupt;
you have forsaken the Lord,
    despised the Holy One of Israel,
    and turned your backs on him.
