Isaiah 5:11-14

New International Version

¹¹Woe^(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)
¹²They 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)
¹³Therefore 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)
¹⁴Therefore 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

New King James Version

¹¹^(A)Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may ^[a]follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
¹²^(B)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But ^(C)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.

¹³^(D)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no ^(E)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
¹⁴Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
