²³ Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.

⁵ Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;

³ And the songs of the king's house will be cries of pain in that day, says the Lord God: great will be the number of the dead bodies, and everywhere they will put them out without a word.

¹⁰ Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
