Isaiah 5:11-14
New International Version
11 Woe(A) to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.(B)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(C) and timbrels(D) and wine,
but they have no regard(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(F)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(G)
for lack of understanding;(H)
those of high rank(I) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(J)
14 Therefore Death(K) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(L)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(M)
Isaiah 5:11-14
Christian Standard Bible
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of beer,(A)
who linger into the evening,
inflamed by wine.
12 At their feasts they have lyre, harp,
tambourine, flute, and wine.
They do not perceive the Lord’s actions,(B)
and they do not see the work of his hands.(C)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile
because they lack knowledge;(D)
her[a] dignitaries are starving,
and her masses are parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,(E)
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!
