Isaiah 1:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible

2 (A)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O (B)earth;
For [a]Yahweh speaks,
“(C)Sons I have reared and raised up,
But they have (D)transgressed against Me.
3 An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel (E)does not know;
My people (F)do not perceive.”

4 Alas, sinful nation,
People heavy with iniquity,
(G)Seed of evildoers,
Sons who (H)act corruptly!
They have (I)forsaken Yahweh;
They have (J)spurned the Holy One of Israel;
They have [b]become estranged [c]from Him.

Isaiah 1:2-4
New International Version

A Rebellious Nation

2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!(A)
    For the Lord has spoken:(B)
“I reared children(C) and brought them up,
    but they have rebelled(D) against me.
3 The ox knows(E) its master,
    the donkey its owner’s manger,(F)
but Israel does not know,(G)
    my people do not understand.(H)”

4 Woe to the sinful nation,
    a people whose guilt is great,(I)
a brood of evildoers,(J)
    children given to corruption!(K)
They have forsaken(L) the Lord;
    they have spurned the Holy One(M) of Israel
    and turned their backs(N) on him.
