5 They improvise songs to the sound of the harp and invent their own musical instruments like David.
6 They drink wine by the bowlful and anoint themselves with the finest oilsbut do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
7 Therefore, they will now go into exileas the first of the captives, and the feasting of those who sprawl outwill come to an end.
8 The Lord God has sworn by Himself — this is the declaration of Yahweh, the God of Hosts:I loathe Jacob’s pride and hate his citadels, so I will hand over the city and everything in it.
9 And if there are 10 men left in one house, they will die.
10 A close relative and burner will remove his corpse from the house. He will call to someone in the inner recesses of the house, “Any more with you? ”That person will reply, “None.”Then he will say, “Silence, because Yahweh’s name must not be invoked.”
11 For the Lord commands:The large house will be smashed to pieces,and the small house to rubble.
