11 How terrible it will be for people who rise early in the morning
    to look for strong drink.
They stay awake late at night,
    becoming drunk with wine.
12 At their parties they have lyres, harps,
    tambourines, flutes and wine.
They don’t see what the Lord has done.
    They don’t notice the work of his hands.
13 So my people will be captured and taken away
    because they don’t really know me.
All the great men will die of hunger.
    The common people will die of thirst.
14 So the place where the dead are wants more and more people.
    It opens its mouth wide.
Jerusalem’s important men will go down into it.
    And the common people will go down into it.
