Thematic Bible: Viol, a lyre
Thematic Bible
Music » Instruments of » Viol, a lyre
Who improvise to the sound of the harp—
Like David they have composed songs for themselves—
They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute, and wine at their feasts;
But they do not regard nor even pay attention to the deeds of the Lord,
Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
‘Your pomp and magnificence have been brought down to Sheol,
Along with the music of your harps;
The maggots [which prey on the dead] are spread out under you [as a bed]
And worms are your covering [Babylonian rulers].’
“Take the noise of your songs away from Me [they are an irritation]!
I shall not even listen to the melody of your harps.
