Thematic Bible: Idle


Thematic Bible



They sing to the tune of stringed instruments; like David they invent musical instruments.

I will turn your festivals into funerals, and all your songs into funeral dirges. I will make everyone wear funeral clothes and cause every head to be shaved bald. I will make you mourn as if you had lost your only son; when it ends it will indeed have been a bitter day.

Take away from me your noisy songs; I don't want to hear the music of your stringed instruments.

Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me; drunkards mock me in their songs.
