Who improvise to the sound of the harp—
Like David they have composed songs for themselves—
“And I shall turn your festivals and feasts into mourning
And all your songs into dirges (funeral poems to be sung);
And I shall cause sackcloth to be put on everyone’s
And baldness on every head [shaved for mourning].
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.
“Take the noise of your songs away from Me [they are an irritation]!
I shall not even listen to the melody of your harps.
They who sit in the [city’s] gate talk about me and mock me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.
