He has stripped my honor off of me, and He has removed the crown from my head.
He causes counselors to go barefoot; and He makes judges to be boastful.
making priests walk away barefoot; and He overthrows the ever-enduring ones;
I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and I have thrust my horn in the dust.
But now the younger in days laugh at me; those whose fathers I would have refused to set with the dogs of my flock.
You have spurned from the covenant of Your servant; You have defiled his crown on the ground.
You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
You have made his brightness to cease and have hurled his throne to the ground.
for wealth is not forever, nor the crown from generation and generation.
But you shall be called, Priests of Jehovah; it will be said of you, Ministers of our God. You shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall be exchanged.
The crown has fallen from our head. Woe now to us, for we have sinned!
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird; and from birth from the womb, and from conception.
