He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
He leadeth counselors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
for riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
But ye shall be named The priests of the Lord: men shall call you The ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
As for E´phra-im, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
