³ O Lord, do your eyes not look for truth?
You have struck them,
    but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
    but they refused to take correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
    they have refused to turn back.^(A)

¹⁸ If I go out into the field,
    look—those killed by the sword!
And if I enter the city,
    look—those sick with^[a] famine!
For both prophet and priest ply their trade throughout the land
    and have no knowledge.^(A)
