They lie on beds inlaid with ivory,(A)
sprawled out on their couches,(B)
and dine on lambs from the flock(C)
and calves from the stall.
They improvise songs[a] to the sound of the harp(D)
and invent[b] their own musical instruments like David.(E)
They drink wine by the bowlful(F)
and anoint themselves with the finest oils
but do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.(G)
Therefore, they will now go into exile
as the first of the captives,(H)
and the feasting(I) of those who sprawl out
will come to an end.
