4 You rich people lounge aroundon beds with ivory posts,while dining on the meatof your lambs and calves.
5 You sing foolish songsto the music of harps,and you make up new tunes,just as David used to do.
6 You drink all the wine you wantand wear expensive perfume,but you don't care aboutthe ruin of your nation.
7 So you will be the firstto be dragged off as captives;your good times will end.
8 The Lord God All-Powerfulhas sworn by his own name:“You descendants of Jacobmake me angry by your pride,and I hate your fortresses.And so I will surrender your cityand possessionsto your enemies.”
9 If only ten of you surviveby hiding in a houseyou will still die.
10 As you carry out a corpseto prepare it for burial,your relative in the housewill ask, “Are there others?”You will answer, “No!”Then your relative will reply,“Be quiet! Don't dare mentionthe name of the Lord.”
