Isaiah 5:11-14
World English Bible
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink,
who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
12 The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts;
but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh,
neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.
Their honorable men are famished,
and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol[a] has enlarged its desire,
and opened its mouth without measure;
and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

in pursuit of beer,(A)
who linger into the evening,
inflamed by 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.

and opens wide its enormous jaws,(E)
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!
