^(E)I shall not sit as a widow
    or know the loss of children”:

^(A)“Behold, I am against you,
    Pharaoh king of Egypt,
^(B)the great dragon that lies
    in the midst of his streams,
^(C)that says, ‘My Nile is my own;
    I made it for myself.’

^(C)“Because your heart is proud,
    and ^(D)you have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
    in the heart of the seas,’

    no secret is hidden from you;
⁴ by your wisdom and your understanding
    ^(J)you have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
    into your treasuries;
⁵ by your great wisdom in your trade
    you have increased your wealth,
    and ^(K)your heart has become proud in your wealth—

¹¹ “Moab has been at ease from his youth
    and has ^(A)settled on his dregs;

    nor has he gone into exile;
so his taste remains in him,
    and his scent is not changed.
