O Jehovah, do not thine eyes look upon truth? thou hast stricken them, but they were 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.
Lord, thin iyen biholden feith; thou hast smyte hem, and þei maden not sorewe; thou hast al tobroke hem, and þei forsoken to take chastisyng; þei maden her faces hardere than a stoon, and nolden turne ayen.
