1 The avision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the bdays of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
The Wickedness of Judah
2 aHear, 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;
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 aThe ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s1 crib;
But Israel bdoes not know,
My people do not1 consider.”
And the donkey its master’s1 crib;
But Israel bdoes not know,
My people do not1 consider.”
4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people1 la1den with iniquity,
aA 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.

5 aWhy should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
