Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. {glory: Heb. brightness}

When I went out to the gate through the city, {when} I prepared my seat in the street!

He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown {by casting it} to the ground.

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. {younger...: Heb. of fewer days than I}

The crown is fallen {from} our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! {The...: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen}

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.

Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

My glory {was} fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. {fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}

{As for} Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

The crown is fallen {from} our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! {The...: Heb. The crown of our head is fallen}

While he {was} yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters {were} eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

My glory {was} fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. {fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
