Isaiah 1:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³A bull knows its master,
and a donkey knows where its owner feeds it.
But Israel does not know me.
My people do not understand.”

⁴Oh, what a sinful nation! Their guilt is like a heavy weight that they must carry. They are evil, destructive children.^[a] They left the Lord and insulted the Holy One of Israel. They turned away and treated him like a stranger.

⁵What good will it do to keep punishing you? You will continue to rebel. Your whole head and heart are already sick and aching.^[b]
