4 How terrible it will be for you that stretch out on your luxurious couches, feasting on veal and lamb!
5 You like to compose songs, as David did, and play them on harps.
6 You drink wine by the bowlful and use the finest perfumes, but you do not mourn over the ruin of Israel.
7 So you will be the first to go into exile. Your feasts and banquets will come to an end.
8 The Sovereign Lord Almighty has given this solemn warning: “I hate the pride of the people of Israel; I despise their luxurious mansions. I will give their capital city and everything in it to the enemy.”
9 If there are ten men left in a family, they will die.
10 The dead man's relative, the one in charge of the funeral, will take the body out of the house. The relative will call to whoever is still left in the house, “Is anyone else there with you?”The person will answer, “No!”Then the relative will say, “Be quiet! We must be careful not even to mention the Lord's name.”
