I was angry with My people,
I profaned My heritage
And handed them over to you.
You did not show mercy to them,
On the (A)aged you made your yoke very heavy.
Yet you said, ‘I will be a (B)queen forever.’
These things you did not (C)consider
Nor remember the (D)outcome of [a]them.

“Now, then, hear this, you (E)luxuriant one,
Who (F)lives securely,
Who says in her heart,
(G)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will (H)not sit as a widow,
Nor know the loss of children.’
