Isaiah 1:3-5

English Standard Version Anglicised

³ The ox ^(A)knows its owner,
    and the donkey its master's crib,
but Israel does ^(B)not know,
    my people do not understand.”
⁴ Ah, sinful nation,
    a people laden with iniquity,
^(C)offspring of evildoers,
    children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
    they have ^(D)despised ^(E)the Holy One of Israel,
    they are utterly ^(F)estranged.
⁵ Why will you still be ^(G)struck down?
    Why will you ^(H)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
    and the whole heart faint.
