Isaiah 1:2
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

Study Note
'Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me' — the opening verse of Isaiah's collected oracles summons the cosmos as witnesses to the divine lawsuit against Israel, a formal rib (covenant-lawsuit) genre borrowed from treaty proceedings where heaven and earth ratified the original Sinai covenant (Deuteronomy 32:1; Psalm 50:1–4). The parental imagery — 'nourished and brought up children' — frames the rebellion in terms of filial ingratitude, anticipating the prodigal son narrative's emotional register. The contrast between divine parental investment and childish rebellion introduces the entire book's dual theme of judgment-and-restoration as a parent's disciplinary action aimed at eventual reconciliation.
