1. The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth.For the Lord has spoken:I have nourished and brought up children,and they have rebelled against Me;
3. the ox knows his owner,and the donkey his master’s crib,but Israel does not know;My people do not consider.
4. Alas, sinful nation,a people laden with iniquity,a brood of evildoers,children who deal corruptly!They have forsaken the Lord,they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger,they are estranged and backward.
5. Why should you be beaten again,that you revolt more and more?The whole head is sick,and the whole heart faint.
