²³ Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.

⁵ Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music;

³ And howled have songstresses of a palace in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Many `are' the carcases, into any place throw -- hush!

¹⁰ And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head -- baldness, And made it as a mourning `of' an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.
