But now you lie on ivory beds
    and stretch out on your couches.
You eat tender young lambs from the flock
    and young calves from the stable.
You play your harps,
    and like David, you practice on[a] your musical instruments.
You drink wine in fancy cups.[b]
    You use the best perfumes.
And it doesn’t even bother you
    that Joseph’s family is being destroyed.
