Isaiah 1:2-4
Names of God Bible

The Lord Accuses Israel of Sin

2 Listen, heaven, and pay attention, earth!
    Yahweh has spoken,
        “I raised my children and helped them grow,
            but they have rebelled against me.
3 Oxen know their owners,
    and donkeys know where their masters feed them.
    But Israel doesn’t know its owner.
    My people don’t understand who feeds them.

4 “How horrible it will be for a nation that sins.
    Its people are loaded down with guilt.
        They are descendants of evildoers
            and destructive children.
    They have abandoned Yahweh.
    They have despised Qedosh Yisrael.
    They have turned their backs on him.

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.
