^2 (A)Lest they tear me like a lion,
^(B)Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

¹³ So are the paths of all who ^(A)forget God;
And the hope of the ^(B)hypocrite shall perish,

^6 (A)My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
^(B)Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.

³² Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
Or a bride her attire?
Yet My people ^(A)have forgotten Me days without number.

¹³ And ^(A)you forget the Lord your Maker,
^(B)Who stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
^(C)And where is the fury of the oppressor?

^18 (A)Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful,
And have ^(B)forgotten the God who fathered you.
