⁴ Woe to the sinful nation,
    a people whose guilt is great,^(A)
a brood of evildoers,^(B)
    children given to corruption!^(C)
They have forsaken^(D) the Lord;
    they have spurned the Holy One^(E) of Israel
    and turned their backs^(F) on him.

¹³ But the people have not returned^(A) to him who struck^(B) them,
    nor have they sought^(C) the Lord Almighty.

¹³ “My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken^(A) me,
    the spring of living water,^(B)
and have dug their own cisterns,
    broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

⁷ All of them are hot as an oven;
    they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,^(A)
    and none of them calls^(B) on me.
