    For you shall no more be called
    Tender and [a]delicate.

    Which you shall not know.
  • “But evil will come on you

    Stand up and save you
    From what shall come upon you.

    With whom you have labored,
    Your merchants from your youth;
    They shall wander each one to his [f]quarter.
    No one shall save you.

    Who have trafficked with you from your youth;
    Each has wandered in his own way;
    There is none to save you.
