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.

²⁴ Therefore, ^(A)as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
    and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so ^(B)their root will be ^(C)as rottenness,
    and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have ^(D)rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
    and have ^(E)despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
²⁵ Therefore ^(F)the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
    and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
    and ^(G)the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were ^(H)as refuse
    in the midst of the streets.
^(I)For all this his anger has not turned away,
    and his hand is stretched out still.
