Isaiah 5:12-14
New International Version
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(A) and timbrels(B) and wine,
but they have no regard(C) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(D)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(E)
for lack of understanding;(F)
those of high rank(G) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(H)
14 Therefore Death(I) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(J)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(K)

Isaiah 5:12-14
English Standard Version
12 (A)They have lyre and harp,
tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
(B)but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
or see the work of his hands.
13 Therefore my people go into exile
(C)for lack of knowledge;[a]
their (D)honored men go hungry,[b]
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has (E)enlarged its appetite
and opened (F)its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem[c] and her multitude will go down,
her revelers and he who (G)exults in her.

Isaiah 5:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and (A)harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;
But they (B)do not pay attention to the deeds of the Lord,
Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
13 Therefore My people go into exile for their (C)lack of knowledge;
And their [a](D)nobles are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore (E)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.
