“Do people ^(A)fall and not get up?
Does one turn away and not ^[a]repent?
⁵ Why has this people, Jerusalem,
^(B)Turned away in continual apostasy?
They ^(C)hold on to deceit,
They ^(D)refuse to return.
⁶ I ^(E)have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
^(F)No one repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
Like a ^(G)horse charging into the battle.
⁷ Even the stork in the sky
^(H)Knows her seasons;
And the ^(I)turtledove, the swallow, and the crane
Keep to the time of their ^[b]migration;
But ^(J)My people do not know
The judgment of the Lord.
