But bthey do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.

13 aTherefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no bknowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
Because they have no bknowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
