Why has this people, Jerusalem,
(A)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They (B)hold on to deceit,
They (C)refuse to return.
I (D)have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
(E)No one repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
Like a (F)horse charging into the battle.
Even the stork in the sky
(G)Knows her seasons;
And the (H)turtledove, the swallow, and the crane
Keep to the time of their [a]migration;
But (I)My people do not know
The judgment of the Lord.
