11–17Doom to those who get up early

and start drinking booze before breakfast,

Who stay up all hours of the night

drinking themselves into a stupor.

They make sure their banquets are well-furnished

with harps and flutes and plenty of wine,

But they’ll have nothing to do with the work of God,

pay no mind to what he is doing.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Woe to those who rise early in the morning,

that they may run after strong drink,

who tarry late into the evening

as wine inflames them!

They have lyre and harp,

tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,

but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,

or see the work of his hands.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Woe 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.

They have harps and lyres at their banquets,

pipes and timbrels and wine,

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

no respect for the work of his hands.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Woe to those who rise early in the morning

in pursuit of beer,

who linger into the evening,

inflamed by wine.

At their feasts they have lyre, harp,

tambourine, flute, and wine.

They do not perceive the Lord’s actions,

and they do not see the work of his hands.

NLTNew Living Translation

What sorrow for those who get up early in the morning

looking for a drink of alcohol

and spend long evenings drinking wine

to make themselves flaming drunk.

They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties—

lyre and harp, tambourine and flute—

but they never think about the Lord

or notice what he is doing.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Ah! Those who rise early in the morning,

they pursue strong drink.

Those who linger in the evening,

wine inflames them.

And there will be lyre and harp,

tambourine and flute,

and wine at their feasts,

but they do not look at the deeds of Yahweh,

and they do not see the work of his hands.

KJV 1900King James Version

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink;

That continue until night, till wine inflame them!

And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe,

And wine, are in their feasts:

But they regard not the work of the Lord,

Neither consider the operation of his hands.
