119:61 The ropes of the wicked tighten around 1 me,
but I do not forget your law.
119:93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have revived me.
4:6 You have destroyed 2 my people
by failing to acknowledge me!
Because you refuse to acknowledge me, 3
I will reject you as my priests.
Because you reject 4 the law of your God,
I will reject 5 your descendants.
