Isaiah 1:4 · American Standard Version

Isaiah 1:4 in context

  1. 2Hear, heavens,
    and listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken:
    “I have nourished and brought up children
    and they have rebelled against me.
  2. 3The ox knows his owner,
    and the donkey his master’s crib;
    but Israel doesn’t know.
    My people don’t consider.”
  3. 4Ah sinful nation,
    a people loaded with iniquity,
    offspring of evildoers,
    children who deal corruptly!
    They have forsaken Yahweh.
    They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
    They are estranged and backward.
  4. 5Why should you be beaten more,
    that you revolt more and more?
    The whole head is sick,
    and the whole heart faint.
  5. 6From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it:
    wounds, welts, and open sores.
    They haven’t been closed, bandaged, or soothed with oil.
