1. I am Isaiah, the son of Amoz.And this is the message that I was given about Judah and Jerusalem when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah:
2. The Lord has said,“Listen, heaven and earth!The children I raisedhave turned against me.
3. Oxen and donkeys knowwho owns and feeds them,but my people won't ever learn.”
4. Israel, you are a sinful nationloaded down with guilt.You are wicked and corruptand have turned from the Lord,the holy God of Israel.
5. Why be punished more?Why not give up your sin?Your head is badly bruised,and you are weak all over.
