1. The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Joatham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2. Listen, O heavens, and pay attention, O earth, for the Lord has spoken. I have nurtured and raised children, but they have spurned me.
3. An ox knows his owner, and a donkey knows the manger of his lord, but Israel has not known me, and my people have not understood.
4. Woe to a sinful nation, a people burdened by iniquity, a wicked offspring, accursed children. They have abandoned the Lord. They have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. They been taken away backwards.
5. For what reason shall I continue to strike you, as you increase transgressions? The entire head is feeble, and the entire heart is grieving.
