6 I grew indignant at my people.+ I profaned my inheritance,+ and I proceeded to give them into your hand.+ You showed them no mercies.+ Upon the old man you made your yoke very heavy.+

23 And the nations will have to know that it was because of their error that they, the house of Israel, went into exile,+ on account of the fact that they behaved unfaithfully toward me, so that I concealed my face from them+ and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they kept falling, all of them, by the sword.+
