22 For my people is foolish.+ Of me they have not taken note.+ They are unwise sons; and they are not those having understanding.+ Wise they are for doing bad, but for doing good they actually have no knowledge.+

4 Hear the word of Jehovah, O sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a legal case with the inhabitants of the land,*+ for there is no truth+ nor loving-kindness* nor knowledge of God in the land.+
