11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning—
    so they may pursue liquor,
who stay up late at night,
    until wine inflames them!
12 Harp and lyre, tambourine and flute,
    and wine are at their banquets.
They do not notice Adonai’s activity
    nor see the works of His hands.

    for lack of knowledge.
Their honorable men are famished
    and their multitudes parched with thirst.

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)
