Listen, Oh Heavens and Earth
Isaiah 1
Listen, oh heavens and earth! (2)
The Lord got somethin’ to say:
“An ox knows well his owner (3)
And an ass knows where to stay,
But you fools can’t see the light of day!
You’re just like your wicked parents;
Want a house and pay no rents!
You despise the Holy One of Israel (4)
Earning yo0urself a place in hell!
I mean you’re sick from head to toe; (6)
Got no bandages or soothing oil. (6)
Cities all burned down to the ground; (7)
Thieves takin’ your food all around.
You’re lookin’ like Sodom and Gomorrah!
Sacrifices mean nothin’ to me! (11)
Don’t want your rams or the fat of your cattle;
Your prayers to me are nothin’ but prattle!
Your offerings are not worth a dime;
Tramplin’ My courts all the time. (12)
Your incense, a lousy abomination
Bringin’ hell down on your nation.”
