3  O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?

^dYou have struck them down,

but they felt no anguish;

you have consumed them,

but they refused to take correction.

^eThey have made their faces harder than rock;

they have refused to repent.

6  “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,

and ^tlack of bread in all your places,

^uyet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.
