³⁹ You have repudiated the covenant with your servant;
you have completely dishonoured his crown.^[a](A)

²⁸ So I defiled the officers of the sanctuary,
and set Jacob apart for destruction^(A)
and Israel for scorn.

⁶ I was angry with my people;
I profaned my possession,
and I handed them over to you.
You showed them no mercy;
you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.
