⁹ He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.

⁴⁴ Thou hast made his brightness to cease, And cast his throne down to the ground.

⁷ When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the street,

⁸ The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;

⁹ The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;

¹⁰ The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

¹¹ For when the ear heard `me', then it blessed me; And when the eye saw `me', it gave witness unto me:

¹² Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.

¹³ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; And I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

¹⁴ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

¹⁶ The crown is fallen from our head: Woe unto us! for we have sinned.

³⁹ Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant: Thou hast profaned his crown `by casting it' to the ground.

¹¹ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.

⁶ But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

¹⁶ Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

¹⁷ For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.

¹ But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

²⁰ My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.

²¹ Unto me men gave ear, and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

¹⁷ He leadeth counsellors away stripped, And judges maketh he fools.
