The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.”

The ox knows its master. The donkey knows where its owner feeds it. But Israel does not know me. My people do not understand me.”

The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.”

Even an ox knows its owner, and a donkey recognizes its master’s care— but Israel doesn’t know its master. My people don’t recognize my care for them.”

An ox knows its owner, And a donkey its master’s manger, But Israel does not know, My people do not understand.”

The ox knows its owner And the donkey its master’s crib; But Israel does not know, My people do not consider.”

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib; but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

An ox recognizes its owner, a donkey recognizes where its owner puts its food; but Israel does not recognize me, my people do not understand.”

The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t consider.”

Even storks in the sky know their seasons. Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes are aware of their migration, but my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.

Such people do not comprehend and cannot understand, for he has shut their eyes so they cannot see, and their minds so they cannot understand.

When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one sown along the path.

Israel is a nation lacking sense with no understanding at all.If only they were wise, they would comprehend this; they would understand their fate.

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right.

Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.

Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?

At their feasts they have lyre, harp, tambourine, flute, and wine. They do not perceive the LORD’s actions, and they do not see the work of his hands.

Everyone is stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his carved image, for his cast images are a lie; there is no breath in them.

That is why I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand.Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: You will listen and listen, but never understand; you will look and look, but never perceive.For this people’s heart has grown callous; their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back— and I would heal them.

“ For my people are fools; they do not know me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing what is evil, but they do not know how to do what is good.”

They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.

They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

When its branches dry out, they will be broken off. Women will come and make fires with them, for they are not a people with understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them, and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

They bent their tongues like their bows; lies and not faithfulness prevail in the land, for they proceed from one evil to another, and they do not take me into account. This is the LORD’s declaration.Everyone has to be on guard against his friend. Don’t trust any brother, for every brother will certainly deceive, and every friend spread slander.Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to speak lies; they wear themselves out doing wrong.You live in a world of deception. In their deception they refuse to know me. This is the LORD’s declaration.
