¹⁶ They turn to that which does not profit;^[a]
    they have become like a defective bow;
their officials shall fall by the sword
    because of the rage of their tongue.
So much for their babbling in the land of Egypt.^(A)

⁹ You will make them like a fiery furnace
    when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
    and fire will consume them.^(A)

⁷ There is no one who calls on your name
    or attempts to take hold of you,
for you have hidden your face from us
    and have delivered^[a] us into the hand of our iniquity.^(A)
