NIVNew International Version (2011)

Therefore my people will go into exile

for lack of understanding;

those of high rank will die of hunger

and the common people will be parched with thirst.

Therefore Death expands its jaws,

opening wide its mouth;

into it will descend their nobles and masses

with all their brawlers and revelers.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Therefore my people will go into exile

because they lack knowledge;

her dignitaries are starving,

and her masses are parched with thirst.

Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat

and opens wide its enormous jaws,

and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,

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.

Those who are great and honored will starve,

and the common people will die of thirst.

The grave is licking its lips in anticipation,

opening its mouth wide.

The great and the lowly

and all the drunken mob will be swallowed up.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Therefore my people will go into exile without knowledge,

and their nobles will be men of hunger,

and their multitude is parched with thirst.

Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat,

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge:

And their honourable men are famished,

And their multitude dried up with thirst.

Therefore hell hath enlarged herself,

And opened her mouth without measure:

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

And he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
