Stretch out on your couches,
Eat lambs from the flock
And calves from the midst of the stall;

And invent for yourselves (B)musical instruments (C)like David;
Who (D)drink wine from bowls,

Therefore they shall now go (F)captive as the first of the captives,
And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.
