6  Do you thus repay the Lord,

you foolish and senseless people?

Is not he your ^kfather, who created you,

who made you and established you?

28  “For they are a nation void of counsel,

and there is ^fno understanding in them.

3  ⁱThe ox knows its owner,

and the donkey its master’s crib,

but Israel does not know,

my people do not understand.”

22  “For my people are foolish;

they ^vknow me not;

they are stupid children;

they have no understanding.

They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!

But how to do good they know not.”

21  “Hear this, O ^efoolish and senseless people,

^fwho have eyes, but see not,

who have ears, but hear not.
