5:3Lord, I know you look for faithfulness.10
But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse.11
Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected.
They have become as hardheaded as a rock.12
They refuse to change their ways.13
Footnotes
- 10 Heb “O Lord, are your eyes not to faithfulness?” The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer.
- 11 Commentaries and lexicons debate the meaning of the verb here. The is pointed as though from a verb meaning “to writhe in anguish or contrition” (חוּל [khul]; see, e.g., 297 חוּל 2.c), but some commentaries and lexicons repoint the text as though from a verb meaning “to be sick,” thus “to feel pain” (חָלָה [khalah]; see, e.g., חָלָה 3). The former appears more appropriate to the context.
- 12 Heb “They made their faces as hard as a rock.”
- 13 Or “to repent”; Heb “to turn back.”

Lord, you are searching for honesty.
You struck your people,
but they paid no attention.
You crushed them,
but they refused to be corrected.
They are determined, with faces set like stone;
they have refused to repent.

They have hardened their faces more than rock,
they have refused to turn back.
