¹⁷ Fools, because of ^[a]their rebellious way,
And ^(A)because of their iniquities, were afflicted.

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

¹⁹ “^(A)Your own wickedness will correct you,
And your ^(B)apostasies will reprove you;
Know therefore and see that it is evil and ^(C)bitter
For you to forsake the Lord your God,
And ^(D)the dread of Me is not in you,” declares the Lord ^[a]God of hosts.
