⁶ Do you thus repay the Lord,
    you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he ^(A)your father, who ^(B)created you,
    who ^(C)made you and established you?

¹⁶ For ^(A)you are our Father,
    though Abraham does not know us,
    and Israel does not acknowledge us;
you, O Lord, are our Father,
    ^(B)our Redeemer from of old is your name.

^8 (A)But now, O Lord, you are our Father;
    ^(B)we are the clay, and you are our potter;
    ^(C)we are all the work of your hand.
