³ Lord, do ^(A)Your eyes not look for honesty?
You have ^(B)struck them,
But they did not ^[a]weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they ^(C)refused to accept discipline.
They have ^(D)made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.

⁵ Why has this people, Jerusalem,
^(A)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They ^(B)hold on to deceit,
They ^(C)refuse to return.
