4 Oy, a sinful nation, a people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons dealing corruptly! They have abandoned ADONAI. They have despised Israel’s Holy One. They have turned backwards.

5 Where will you be struck again, as you stray away more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart faint.
