³⁷ Their ^(A)heart was not ^(B)steadfast toward him;
    they were not faithful to his covenant.

⁸ and that they should not be ^(A)like their fathers,
    ^(B)a stubborn and rebellious generation,
a generation ^(C)whose heart was not steadfast,
    whose spirit was not faithful to God.

^10 (A)Create in me a ^(B)clean heart, O God,
    and ^(C)renew a right^[a] spirit within me.

² Their heart is false;
    now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord^[a] will break down their altars
    and destroy their pillars.

¹⁶ They ^(A)return, but not upward;^[a]
    they are ^(B)like a treacherous bow;
their princes shall fall by the sword
    because of ^(C)the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision ^(D)in the land of Egypt.

8 Set ^(E)the trumpet to your lips!
    One ^(F)like a vulture is over the house of the Lord,
because ^(G)they have transgressed my covenant
    and rebelled against my law.

⁸⁰ May my heart be ^(A)blameless in your statutes,
    ^(B)that I may not be put to shame!
