13Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst. 14Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend into it, and her multitude, and her tumult, and all that is joyful within her.

Therefore my people go into exile

for lack of knowledge;

her revelers and he who exults in her.

opening wide its mouth;

into it will descend their nobles and masses

with all their brawlers and revelers.

her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!

NLTNew Living Translation

So my people will go into exile far away

because they do not know me.

opening its mouth wide.

The great and the lowly

and all the drunken mob will be swallowed up.

and it has opened wide its mouth without limit,

and her nobles will go down, and her multitude,

her tumult and those who revel in her.

And their honourable men are famished,

And their multitude dried up with thirst.

And opened her mouth without measure:

And their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp,

And he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
