26 (A)But they became rebellious and revolted against You,
And (B)threw Your Law behind their backs
And (C)killed Your prophets who had (D)admonished them
In order to bring them back to You,
And (E)they committed great blasphemies.
27 Therefore You (F)handed them over to their enemies who oppressed them,
But when they cried out to You (G)in the time of their distress,
You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion
You (H)gave them [a]people who saved them from the hand of their enemies.
28 But (I)as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You;
Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them.
When they cried out again to You, You heard from heaven,
And (J)many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,
29 And (K)admonished them in order to turn them back to Your Law.
Yet (L)they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances,
(M)Which, if a person [b]follows them, then he will live by them.
And they [c](N)turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.
