³⁷ For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

⁸ And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

²¹ Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.

²⁰ For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxed fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.

¹⁷ All this is come upon us; Yet have we not forgotten thee, Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

¹⁸ Our heart is not turned back, Neither have our steps declined from thy way,

⁸⁰ Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.

¹⁴ And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me.

¹⁶ They return, but not to `him that is' on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

¹ `Set' the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle `he cometh' against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

² Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will smite their altars, he will destroy their pillars.
