Isaiah 1:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s crib;
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand.

⁴Ah, sinful nation,
    people laden with iniquity,
offspring who do evil,
    children who deal corruptly,
who have forsaken the Lord,
    who have despised the Holy One of Israel,
    who are utterly estranged!

⁵Why do you seek further beatings?
Why do you continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
