Isaiah 5:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² At your feasts you have harps and tambourines and flutes—and wine. But you don't understand what the Lord is doing, ¹³ and so you will be carried away as prisoners. Your leaders will starve to death, and the common people will die of thirst. ¹⁴ The world of the dead is hungry for them, and it opens its mouth wide. It gulps down the nobles of Jerusalem along with the noisy crowd of common people.
