3 O Lord, are not aYour eyes on the truth?
You have bstricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But cthey have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.
You have bstricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But cthey have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For athey do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
They are foolish;
For athey do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
5 I will go to the great men and speak to them,
For athey have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether bbroken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
For athey have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether bbroken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
6 Therefore aa lion from the forest shall slay them,
bA wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
cA leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.

7 “How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
And asworn by those bthat are not gods.
cWhen I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
