You drink wine in fancy cups.[a]
    You use the best perfumes.
And it doesn’t even bother you
    that Joseph’s family is being destroyed.

You people are stretched out on your couches now, but your good times will end. You will be taken away as prisoners to a foreign country, and you will be some of the first people taken. The Lord God used his own name and made an oath. The Lord God All-Powerful said,

“I hate what Jacob is proud of.
    I hate his strong towers.
So I will let an enemy take the city
    and everything in it.”
