²³ Take away from Me the noise of your songs;
I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.

⁴ Those who lie on beds of ivory,
And lounge around on their ^(A)couches,
And ^(B)eat lambs from the flock,
And calves from the midst of the fattened cattle,
⁵ Who improvise to the sound of the harp,
And like David have ^[a]composed ^(C)songs for themselves,

¹⁰ Then I will ^(A)turn your festivals into mourning,
And all your songs into songs of mourning;
And I will put ^(B)sackcloth around everyone’s waist,
And ^[a]baldness on every head.
And I will make it ^(C)like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
