2 They shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and awhich they have worshiped.

Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding?
bThey hold fast to deceit,
cThey refuse to return.
6 aI listened and heard,
But they do not speak aright.
bNo man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’

As the horse rushes into the battle.
But they do not speak aright.
bNo man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
As the horse rushes into the battle.
