Isaiah 5:11–17

11 Woep to those who rise early in the morning

to run after their drinks,

who stay up late at night

till they are inflamed with wine.q

12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,

pipesr and timbrelss and wine,

but they have no regardt for the deeds of the Lord,

no respect for the work of his hands.u

13 Therefore my people will go into exilev

for lack of understanding;w

those of high rankx will die of hunger

and the common people will be parched with thirst.y

14 Therefore Deathz expands its jaws,

opening wide its mouth;a

into it will descend their nobles and masses

with all their brawlers and revelers.b

15 So people will be brought lowc

and everyone humbled,d

the eyes of the arrogante humbled.

16 But the Lord Almighty will be exaltedf by his justice,g

and the holy God will be proved holyh by his righteous acts.

17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;i

lambs will feedd among the ruins of the rich.
