(A)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O (B)earth;
For [a]Yahweh speaks,
(C)Sons I have reared and raised up,
But they have (D)transgressed against Me.
An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel (E)does not know;
My people (F)do not perceive.”

Alas, sinful nation,
People heavy with iniquity,
(G)Seed of evildoers,
Sons who (H)act corruptly!
They have (I)forsaken Yahweh;
They have (J)spurned the Holy One of Israel;
They have [b]become estranged [c]from Him.
