And all your songs into dirges (funeral poems to be sung);

And I shall make that time like a time of mourning for an only son [who has died],
And the end of it shall be like a bitter day.

Those who lie on [luxurious] beds of ivory
And lounge around out on their couches,
And eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,
