4those who lie on beds of ivory and sprawl on their couches, and eat lambs from the flock and calves from the stall—

5who strum on the mouth of the harp, and like David invent for themselves instruments of song—

6who drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph—

7Therefore now they will go into exile at the head of the exiles, and the revelry of those who sprawl will pass away.
