Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.

Has made Himself known as a stronghold.

And prosperity within your palaces.”

And jackals in their luxurious palaces.

And destroy her palaces!”

It has entered our palaces
To cut off the children from the streets,
The young men from the town squares.

He has destroyed its strongholds
And multiplied in the daughter of Judah

He has abandoned His sanctuary;
He has delivered into the hand of the enemy
The walls of her palaces.
They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As in the day of an appointed feast.

For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces;
And Judah has multiplied fortified cities,
But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.

But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces!
