²² “My people are fools;^(A)
    they do not know me.^(B)
They are senseless children;
    they have no understanding.^(C)
They are skilled in doing evil;^(D)
    they know not how to do good.”^(E)

⁴ I thought, “These are only the poor;
    they are foolish,^(A)
for they do not know^(B) the way of the Lord,
    the requirements of their God.
⁵ So I will go to the leaders^(C)
    and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the Lord,
    the requirements of their God.”
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
    and torn off the bonds.^(D)
