Isaiah 5:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 Therefore My people go into exile for their (A)lack of knowledge;
And their [a](B)nobles are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore (C)Sheol has enlarged its [b]throat and opened its mouth beyond measure;
And [c]Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her noise of revelry, and the jubilant within her, descend into it.
15 So the common people will be humbled and the person of importance brought low,
(D)The eyes of the haughty also will be brought low.
16 But the (E)Lord of armies will be (F)exalted in judgment,
And the holy God will show Himself (G)holy in righteousness.
17 (H)Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
And strangers will eat in the ruins of the [d]wealthy.

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.
