(A)Listen, heavens, and hear, (B)earth;
For the Lord has spoken:
(C)Sons I have raised and brought up,
But they have (D)revolted 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 understand.”

Oh, sinful nation,
People weighed down with guilt,
[a](G)Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who (H)act corruptly!
They have (I)abandoned the Lord,
They have (J)despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away [b]from Him.
