Judah on Trial

Listen, heavens, and pay attention, earth,(A)
for the Lord has spoken:
“I have raised children[a] and brought them up,
but they have rebelled against me.(B)
The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s feeding trough,
but Israel does not know;
my people do not understand.”(C)

Oh sinful nation,
people weighed down with iniquity,(D)
brood of evildoers,(E)
depraved children!
They have abandoned(F) the Lord;
they have despised(G) the Holy One of Israel;(H)
they have turned their backs on him.
