Jeremiah 8:5-6

English Standard Version

⁵ Why then has this people ^(A)turned away
    in perpetual ^(B)backsliding?
^(C)They hold fast to deceit;
    they refuse to return.
^6 (D)I have paid attention and listened,
    but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
    saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
    ^(E)like a horse plunging headlong into battle.
