¹⁷ Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,^(A)
    nor will he pity^(B) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly^(C) and wicked,^(D)
    every mouth speaks folly.^(E)

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.^(F)

⁶ You have rejected^(A) me,” declares the Lord.
    “You keep on backsliding.
So I will reach out^(B) and destroy you;
    I am tired of holding back.^(C)
