13 Therefore my people will go into exile(A)
    for lack of understanding;(B)
those of high rank(C) will die of hunger
    and the common people will be parched with thirst.(D)
14 Therefore Death(E) expands its jaws,
    opening wide its mouth;(F)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
    with all their brawlers and revelers.(G)
15 So people will be brought low(H)
    and everyone humbled,(I)
    the eyes of the arrogant(J) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(K) by his justice,(L)
    and the holy God will be proved holy(M) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(N)
    lambs will feed[a] among the ruins of the rich.
