Isaiah 5:11-17
New King James Version
Isaiah 5:11-17
New King James Version
11 (A)Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may [a]follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 (B)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But (C)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13 (D)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no (E)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
15 People shall be brought down,
(F)Each man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be (G)exalted in judgment,
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of (H)the [b]fat ones strangers shall eat.

Isaiah 5:11-17
New International Version
11 Woe(A) 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.(B)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(C) and timbrels(D) and wine,
but they have no regard(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(F)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(G)
for lack of understanding;(H)
those of high rank(I) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(J)
14 Therefore Death(K) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(L)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(M)
15 So people will be brought low(N)
and everyone humbled,(O)
the eyes of the arrogant(P) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(Q) by his justice,(R)
and the holy God will be proved holy(S) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(T)
lambs will feed[a] among the ruins of the rich.
