Isaiah 5:13-17
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Therefore my people [a]is gone into captivity, because they had [b]no knowledge, and the glory thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore [c]hell hath enlarged itself, and hath opened his mouth without measure, and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, shall descend into it.
15 And man shall be brought down, and man shall be humbled, even the eyes of the proud shall be humbled.
16 And the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be sanctified in justice.
17 Then shall [d]the lambs feed after their manner, and the strangers shall eat the desolate places of the fat.
