Isaiah1:3

3. (Jr 8:7).

crib--the stall where it is fed (Pr 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 (Ex 19:5, equivalent to "my people," Joh 1:10, 11).

consider--attend to his Master (Is 41:8), notwithstanding the spiritual food which He provides (answering to "crib" in the parallel clause).
