Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 1:3

_ _ (Jeremiah 8:7).

_ _ crib — the stall where it is fed (Proverbs 14:4). Spiritually the word and ordinances.

_ _ Israel — The whole nation, Judah as well as Israel, in the restricted sense. God regards His covenant-people in their designed unity.

_ _ not know — namely, his Owner, as the parallelism requires; that is, not recognize Him as such (Exodus 19:5, equivalent to “my people,” John 1:10, John 1:11).

_ _ considerattend to his Master (Isaiah 41:8), notwithstanding the spiritual food which He provides (answering to “crib” in the parallel clause).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 1:2-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 1:3

Know — Me their owner and master. Knowing is here taken practically, as it is usually in scripture, and includes reverence and obedience.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 1:3

The (f) ox knoweth his owner, and the donkey his master's crib: [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

(f) The most dull and brute beasts acknowledge their duty more toward their masters, than my people do toward me, of whom they have received benefits without comparison.
