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!

Isaiah 5:11-14
Common English Bible
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.
