⁴⁴ You have ended his splendor, And thrown his throne down to the ground.

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

⁸ The young men saw me and hid themselves, 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 stuck to the roof of their mouth.

¹¹ For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; And when the eye saw me, it commended me:

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

¹³ The blessing of him who was ready to perish came on 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 to us! for we have sinned.

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

¹⁶ Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased.

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

¹ "But now those who are younger than I, have me in derision, Whose fathers I would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs.

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

²¹ "Men listened to me, waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

¹⁷ He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
