O LORD , do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.

I thought, "These are only the poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of the LORD , the requirements of their God.

So I will go to the leaders and speak to them; surely they know the way of the LORD , the requirements of their God." But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke and torn off the bonds.

Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them, a wolf from the desert will ravage them, a leopard will lie in wait near their towns to tear to pieces any who venture out, for their rebellion is great and their backslidings many.
