How beautiful you are! How lovely, O love, with your delights!

Luxury is not appropriate for a fool; how much less for a servant to rule over princes!

Shave your heads bald as you mourn for the children you love; shave your foreheads as bald as an eagle, for they are taken from you into exile.

You wrongly evict widows among my people from their cherished homes. You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.

I also amassed silver and gold for myself, as well as valuable treasures taken from kingdoms and provinces. I acquired male singers and female singers for myself, and what gives a man sensual delight – a harem of beautiful concubines!
