3 The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib; [but] Israel does not know, my people do not have understanding.

4 O sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, generation of evildoers, corrupt sons! They have forsaken the LORD; they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger; they have turned back.

5 Why should I chastise you any more? Ye will revolt more and more; every head is sick, and every heart faint.
