¹³ Instead, there is ^(A)gaiety and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“^(B)Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

⁴ Those who recline on beds of ivory
And sprawl on their ^(A)couches,
And ^(B)eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall,
⁵ Who improvise to the sound of the harp,
And like David have ^[a]composed ^(C)songs for themselves,
⁶ Who ^(D)drink wine from ^[b]sacrificial bowls
While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils,
Yet they have not ^(E)grieved over the ruin of Joseph.
