4 ^(A)Hear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel,
    for ^(B)the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,
    and ^(C)no knowledge of God in the land;

¹³ Therefore my people go into exile
    ^(A)for lack of knowledge;^[a]
their ^(B)honoured men go hungry,^[b]
    and their multitude is parched with thirst.
