11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
    Israel (A)would not submit to me.
12 So I (B)gave them over to their (C)stubborn hearts,
    to follow their own (D)counsels.
13 (E)Oh, that my people would listen to me,
    that Israel would (F)walk in my ways!

The Wickedness of Judah

(A)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O (B)earth;
    for the Lord has spoken:
“Children[a] (C)have I reared and brought up,
    but they have rebelled against me.
The ox (D)knows its owner,
    and the donkey its master's crib,
but Israel does (E)not know,
    my people do not understand.”

Ah, sinful nation,
    a people laden with iniquity,
(F)offspring of evildoers,
    children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
    they have (G)despised (H)the Holy One of Israel,
    they are utterly (I)estranged.

Why will you still be (J)struck down?
    Why will you (K)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
    and the whole heart faint.
