²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel,
You will be ^(A)devoured by the sword.”
For ^(B)the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

²³ Your ^(A)rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone ^(B)loves a bribe
And chases after gifts.
They ^(C)do not obtain justice for the ^[a]orphan,
Nor does the widow’s case come before them.

²³ But this people has a ^(A)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed.
