Isaiah 5:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 At their feasts they have lyre, harp,
tambourine, flute, and wine.
They do not perceive the Lord’s actions,(A)
and they do not see the work of His hands.(B)
13 Therefore My people will go into exile
because they lack knowledge;(C)
her[a] dignitaries are starving,
and her[b] masses are parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,(D)
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who carouse in her!

but they have no regard(C) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(D)

for lack of understanding;(F)
those of high rank(G) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(H)

opening wide its mouth;(J)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(K)
