Isaiah 5:12-14
New King James Version
Isaiah 5:12-14
New King James Version
12 (A)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But (B)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13 (C)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no (D)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

Isaiah 5:12-14
International Children’s Bible
12 At their parties they have lyres, harps,
tambourines, flutes and wine.
They don’t see what the Lord has done.
They don’t notice the work of his hands.
13 So my people will be captured and taken away
because they don’t really know me.
All the great men will die of hunger.
The common people will die of thirst.
14 So the place where the dead are wants more and more people.
It opens its mouth wide.
Jerusalem’s important men will go down into it.
And the common people will go down into it.
Isaiah 5:12-14

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)
