New King James Version

³Woe to you who ^(A)put far off the day of ^(B)doom,
^(C)Who cause ^(D)the seat of violence to come near;
⁴Who lie on beds of ivory,
Stretch out on your couches,
Eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall;
⁵^(E)Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
And invent for yourselves ^(F)musical instruments ^(G)like David;
⁶Who ^(H)drink wine from bowls,
And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
^(I)But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
