Lord, do (A)Your eyes not look for honesty?
You have (B)struck them,
But they did not [a]weaken;
You have consumed them,
But they (C)refused to accept discipline.
They have (D)made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to repent.

Then I said, “They are only the poor,
They are foolish;
For they (E)do not know the way of the Lord
Or the judgment of their God.
I will go to the great
And speak to them,
For (F)they know the way of the Lord
And the judgment of their God.”
But together they too have (G)broken the yoke
And burst the restraints.
