An ox knows its owner,
And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel (A)does not know,
My people (B)do not understand.”

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

Where will you be stricken again,
As you (G)continue in your rebellion?
The entire head is (H)sick
And the entire heart is faint.
