⁶ I was angry^(A) with my people
    and desecrated my inheritance;^(B)
I gave them into your hand,^(C)
    and you showed them no mercy.^(D)
Even on the aged
    you laid a very heavy yoke.
⁷ You said, ‘I am forever^(E)—
    the eternal queen!’^(F)
But you did not consider these things
    or reflect^(G) on what might happen.^(H)

⁸ “Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
    lounging in your security^(I)
and saying to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.^(J)
I will never be a widow^(K)
    or suffer the loss of children.’
