I was angry with my people.
    I dishonored those who belong to me.
    I put them under your control.
    You showed them no mercy.
    You placed a heavy burden on old people.
You said, “I will always be a queen.”
    You didn’t carefully consider these things
        or keep in mind how they would end.

Now then, listen to this, you lover of pleasure.
    You live securely and say to yourself,
        “I’m the only one, and there’s no one else.
            I won’t live as a widow.
            I won’t suffer the loss of children.”
