2025-09-25 — Rearranging the beds of ivory on the Titanic
Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory
    and lounge on their couches
and eat lambs from the flock
    and calves from the stall,
who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
    and like David improvise on instruments of music,
who drink wine from bowls
    and anoint themselves with the finest oils
    but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
Therefore they shall now be the first to go into exile,
    and the revelry of the loungers shall pass away.
