Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly! they have forsaken Jehovah, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are estranged 'and gone' backward.
Wo to þe synful folk, to þe puple heuy in wickidnesse, to þe weiward seed, to þe cursid sones; þei han forsake þe Lord, þei han blasfemyd þe hooli of Israel, þei ben aliened bacward.
