^{3 Ref} The ox knows his owner, And the donkey his master's crib; But Israel doesn't know, My people don't consider.

^{4 Ref} Ah sinful nation, A people loaded with iniquity, A seed of evil-doers, Children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and backward.
