Your feasts will be turned to mourning.
And all your songs to lamentation.
We have received our warning.
And this applies to us whatever our station.

To it’s  neighbours laughed and said.
See he is not afraid anymore.
But that is only true after we are dead.
We must then settle our score.

The time before this he had to flee.
But here he is beginning to bury his dead again.
We ourselves make our plea.
But we are always going against the grain.

Do we, like Tobit, walk in the paths of truth.
Or did we leave behind all that in our youth.

………

Feasts turned to mourning
Songs to lamentation
Is that then our lot
