Who (A)drink wine from sacred bowls
While they anoint themselves with the finest of oils—

And the revelry of those who (D)lounge around will come to an end.

The Lord [a]God has (E)sworn by Himself, the Lord God of armies has declared:
“I (F)loathe the arrogance of Jacob,
And [b]detest his (G)citadels;
Therefore I will (H)give up the city and [c]all it contains.”
