Isaiah 5:13-17
English Standard Version
13 Therefore my people go into exile
(A)for lack of knowledge;[a]
their (B)honored men go hungry,[b]
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has (C)enlarged its appetite
and opened (D)its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem[c] and her multitude will go down,
her revelers and he who (E)exults in her.
15 (F)Man is humbled, and each one is brought low,
and the eyes of the haughty[d] are brought low.
16 (G)But the Lord of hosts is exalted[e] in justice,
and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs graze (H)as in their pasture,
and (I)nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.
