So I have held back the showers.
    I have kept the spring rains from falling.
But you still have the bold face of a prostitute.
    You refuse to blush with shame.
You have just now called out to me.
    You said,
‘My Father, you have been my friend
    ever since I was young.
Will you always be angry with me?
    Will your anger continue forever?’
This is how you talk.
    But you do all the evil things you can.”

Therefore the showers have been withheld,(A)
    and no spring rains(B) have fallen.
Yet you have the brazen(C) look of a prostitute;
    you refuse to blush with shame.(D)
Have you not just called to me:
    ‘My Father,(E) my friend from my youth,(F)
will you always be angry?(G)
    Will your wrath continue forever?’
This is how you talk,
    but you do all the evil you can.”
