Isaiah 1:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 1:4

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;

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.

5 ^aWhy should you be stricken again?
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.
