11 Woe to those who (A)rise early in the morning,
    that they may run after strong drink,
who tarry late into the evening
    as wine inflames them!
12 (B)They have lyre and harp,
    tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
(C)but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
    or see the work of his hands.

13 Therefore my people go into exile
    (D)for lack of knowledge;[a]
their (E)honored men go hungry,[b]
    and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has (F)enlarged its appetite
    and opened (G)its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem[c] and her multitude will go down,
    her revelers and he who (H)exults in her.

11 Doom to those who wake up early in the morning to run after beer,
    to those who stay up late, lit up by wine.
12 They party with lyre and harp, tambourine, flute, and wine;
    but they ignore the Lord’s work;
        they can’t see what God is doing.

13 Therefore, my people go into exile since they didn’t understand—
    their officials are dying of hunger;
    so many of them are dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore, the grave[a] opens wide its jaws,
    opens its mouth beyond all bounds,
    and the splendid multitudes will go down, with all their uproar and cheering.
