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

    he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have called you by name; you are mine.^(A)

    whom I created for my glory,
    whom I formed and made.”^(A)

² Thus says the Lord who made you,
    who formed you in the womb and will help you:
Do not fear, O Jacob my servant,
    Jeshurun whom I have chosen.^(A)

²¹ Remember these things, O Jacob,
    and Israel, for you are my servant;
I formed you, you are my servant;
    O Israel, do not forget me.^[a](A)

⁷ Even the stork in the heavens
    knows its times,
and the turtledove, swallow, and crane^[a]
    observe the time of their coming,
but my people do not know
    the ordinance of the Lord.^(A)
