⁴ Ah, sinful nation,
    a people laden with iniquity,
^(A)offspring of evildoers,
    children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
    they have ^(B)despised ^(C)the Holy One of Israel,
    they are utterly ^(D)estranged.

⁵ Why will you still be ^(E)struck down?
    Why will you ^(F)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
    and the whole heart faint.
