³ O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

³³ And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
