^17 [a]Ignorant fools, because of their way of transgression,
And ^(A)because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

¹⁷ Have you not ^(A)done this to yourself
By your forsaking Yahweh your God
When He ^(B)led you in the way?

^19 (A)Your own evil will chastise you,
And your ^(B)acts of faithlessness will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and ^(C)bitter
For you to forsake Yahweh your God,
And ^(D)the dread of Me is not in you,” declares Lord Yahweh of hosts.
