you notable men of the foremost nation,
to whom the people of Israel come!

and then go down to Gath in Philistia.

Is their land larger than yours?

and bring near a reign of terror.

and lounge on your couches.
You dine on choice lambs
and fattened calves.
5 You strum away on your harps like David
and improvise on musical instruments.
6 You drink wine by the bowlful
and use the finest lotions,
but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
