‘Because you have (A)made your heart
Like the heart of God,
Therefore, behold, I will bring (B)strangers upon you,
The (C)most ruthless of the nations.
And they will draw their swords
Against the beauty of your wisdom
And defile your splendor.
‘They will bring you down to the pit,
And you will die the (D)death of those who are slain
In the heart of the seas.
