¹⁷ Therefore the Lord does not ^(A)rejoice over their young men,
    and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is ^(B)godless and an evildoer,
    and every mouth speaks ^(C)folly.^[a]
(D)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.

²¹ Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim devours Manasseh;
    together they are ^(A)against Judah.
^(B)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.

²⁵ Therefore ^(A)the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
    and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
    and ^(B)the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were ^(C)as refuse
    in the midst of the streets.
^(D)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.

⁴ Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners
    or fall among the slain.
^(A)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.
