Isaiah 5:13-17
King James Version
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

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.
