⁸ Now therefore hear this, ^(A)you lover of pleasures,
    ^(B)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
    ^(C)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
^(D)I shall not sit as a widow
    or know the loss of children”:

^(D)“Come out of her, my people,
    lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
⁵ for ^(E)her sins are heaped high as heaven,
    and ^(F)God has remembered her iniquities.
^6 (G)Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
    and repay her ^(H)double for her deeds;
    mix a double portion for her ^(I)in the cup she mixed.
^7 (J)As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
    so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
    ^(K)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
    and mourning I shall never see.’
⁸ For this reason her plagues will come ^(L)in a single day,
    death and mourning and famine,
and ^(M)she will be burned up with fire;
    for ^(N)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”

^11 (A)“Though you rejoice, though you exult,
    O plunderers of my heritage,
though you frolic like a heifer in the pasture,
    and neigh like stallions,

¹⁰ You felt secure in your wickedness;
    you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
    ^(A)“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
