(A)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel (B)does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”

Alas, sinful nation,
A people [c]laden with iniquity,
(C)A [d]brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.

(D)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
