aDress in sackcloth
bAnd roll about in ashes!
cMake mourning as for an only son, most bitter lamentation;
For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.
That you may know and test their way.
They are cbronze and iron,
They are all corrupters;
The lead is consumed by the fire;
The smelter refines in vain,
For the wicked are not drawn off.
