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. ‡

3 ^aThe ox knows its owner
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. ‡
