Isaiah 5:11-14
Legacy Standard Bible
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue (A)strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!
12 And their banquets are accompanied by lyre and (B)harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;
But they (C)do not look upon the deeds of Yahweh,
Nor do they see the work of His hands.
13 Therefore My people go into exile for their (D)lack of knowledge;
And [a]their (E)honorable men are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore (F)Sheol has enlarged its [b]throat and opened its mouth without limit;
And [c]Jerusalem’s majesty, her multitude, her rumbling, and the exultant within her, descend into it.

Isaiah 5:11-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue (A)strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!
12 Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and (B)harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine;
But they (C)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 (D)lack of knowledge;
And [a]their (E)honorable men are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore (F)Sheol has enlarged its [b]throat and opened its mouth without measure;
And [c]Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.
