Isaiah 1:2

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, the witnesses who were present at the giving of the Law, Deuteronomy 4:36, were to hear the complaint of the Lord, as He entered into judgment with His people after seven centuries, Cf Deuteronomy 32:1; for the Lord hath spoken, the very words of Jehovah, the self-existing and unchangeable God, being quoted here, I have nourished, brought to maturity, to adult age, and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me, for so Israel, the first-born son of God, Exodus 4:22, had rewarded the blessings received at the hand of God during these many years since the deliverance out of the serfdom of Egypt. Rebellion against God, apostasy from God: that is the chief characteristic in the history of Israel since the days of Solomon.
