¹⁴ My soul hates your new moon festivals and your ^(A)appointed times,
They have become a burden to Me;
I am ^(B)weary of bearing them.

¹² And their banquets are accompanied by lyre and ^(A)harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;
But they ^(B)do not look upon the deeds of Yahweh,
Nor do they see the work of His hands.

¹² Therefore in that day Lord Yahweh of hosts called you to ^(A)weeping, to wailing,
To ^(B)shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.
¹³ Instead, behold, there is ^(C)joy and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“^(D)Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

^9 (A)Astonish yourselves and be astonished,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They ^(B)become drunk, but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with strong drink.
