“I was angry with My people,
I profaned My heritage
And gave them into your hand.
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)sensual one,
Who (F)dwells securely,
Who says in [b]your heart,
(G)I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will (H)not sit as a widow,
Nor know loss of children.’
