² For day after day they seek^(A) me out;
    they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
    and has not forsaken^(B) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
    and seem eager for God to come near^(C) them.

² Although they say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives,’^(A)
    still they are swearing falsely.^(B)”
