^5 (A)who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
    and like David ^(B)invent for themselves instruments of music,

^12 (A)They have lyre and harp,
    tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
^(B)but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
    or see the work of his hands.

²³ Take away from me the noise of your songs;
    to ^(A)the melody of your harps I will not listen.

^3 (A)The songs of the temple^{[a] (B)}shall become wailings^[b] in that day,”
declares the Lord God.
^(C)“So many dead bodies!”
“They are thrown everywhere!”
^(D)“Silence!”

²² and ^(A)the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
    will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
    will be found in you no more,
and ^(B)the sound of the mill
    will be heard in you no more,

¹¹ They send out their ^(A)little boys like a flock,
    and their children dance.
¹² They sing to ^(B)the tambourine and ^(C)the lyre
    and rejoice to the sound of ^(D)the pipe.
