16  For ⁱyou are our Father,

though Abraham does not know us,

and Israel does not acknowledge us;

you, O Lord, are our Father,

^jour Redeemer from of old is your name.

17  O Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways

and ^kharden our heart, so that we fear you not?

^lReturn for the sake of your servants,

the tribes of your heritage.
