O Lord, are not (A)Your eyes on the truth?
You have (B)stricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But (C)they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.

Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For (D)they do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
I will go to the great men and speak to them,
For (E)they have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”

But these have altogether (F)broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
