³⁹ You have renounced the covenant with your servant
    and have defiled his crown in the dust.^(A)

²⁸ So I disgraced the dignitaries of your temple;
    I consigned Jacob to destruction^[a](A)
    and Israel to scorn.^(B)

⁶ I was angry^(A) with my people
    and desecrated my inheritance;^(B)
I gave them into your hand,^(C)
    and you showed them no mercy.^(D)
Even on the aged
    you laid a very heavy yoke.
