⁷ No one^(A) calls on your name^(B)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden^(C) your face from us
    and have given us over^(D) to^[a] our sins.

¹⁴ They do not cry out to me from their hearts^(A)
    but wail on their beds.
They slash themselves,^[a] appealing to their gods
    for grain and new wine,^(B)
    but they turn away from me.^(C)

¹⁶ He saw that there was no one,^(A)
    he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;^(B)
so his own arm achieved salvation^(C) for him,
    and his own righteousness^(D) sustained him.

⁷ All of them are hot as an oven;
    they devour their rulers.
All their kings fall,^(A)
    and none of them calls^(B) on me.
