O LORD, [are] not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, [but] they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

O LORD {H3068}, are not thine eyes {H5869} upon the truth {H530}? thou hast stricken {H5221} them, but they have not grieved {H2342}; thou hast consumed {H3615} them, but they have refused {H3985} to receive {H3947} correction {H4148}: they have made their faces {H6440} harder {H2388} than a rock {H5553}; they have refused {H3985} to return {H7725}.

ADONAI, your eyes look for truth. You struck them, but they weren't affected; you [nearly] destroyed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than rock, refusing to repent.

O LORD, do not Your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain. You finished them off, but they refused to accept discipline. They have made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent.

O Jehovah, do not thine eyes look upon truth? thou hast stricken them, but they were not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
