19 (A)Have you utterly rejected Judah?
    Does your soul loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
    (B)so that there is no healing for us?
(C)We looked for peace, but no good came;
    (D)for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
20 (E)We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
    and the iniquity of our fathers,
    (F)for we have sinned against you.
21 Do not spurn us, (G)for your name's sake;
    do not dishonor your glorious throne;
    (H)remember and do not break your covenant with us.
