³ O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?
^(A)You have struck them down,
    but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
    but they refused to take correction.
^(B)They have made their faces harder than rock;
    they have refused to repent.

²⁵ So he poured on him the heat of his anger
    and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, ^(A)but he did not understand;
    it burned him up, ^(B)but he did not take it to heart.
