Isaiah 5:11-22

11WoeH1945 unto them that riseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may follow strongH7941 drinkH7941; that tarry late into the night, till wineH3196 inflame them! 12And the harpH3658 and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wineH3196, are in their feasts; but they regard not the workH4639 of Jehovah, neither have they consideredH7200 the operation of his handsH3027.

13ThereforeH3651 my peopleH5971 are goneH1540 into captivity for lack of knowledgeH1847; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitudeH1995 are parched with thirstH6772. 14ThereforeH3651 SheolH7585 hath enlargedH7337 its desireH5315, and openedH6473 its mouthH6310 without measure; and their glory, and their multitudeH1995, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it. 15And the mean manH376 is bowedH7817 downH7817, and the great manH376 is humbled, and the eyesH5869 of the lofty are humbled: 16but Jehovah of hostsH6635 is exaltedH1361 in justiceH4941, and GodH410 the HolyH6918 OneH6918 is sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666. 17Then shall the lambsH3532 feed as in their pastureH1699, and the wasteH2723 placesH2723 of the fat ones shall wanderers eatH398.

18WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH5688 of falsehoodH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 rope; 19that sayH559, Let him makeH3045 speed, let him hastenH4116 his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it; and let the counselH6098 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 drawH7126 nigh and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it! 20WoeH1945 unto them that call evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; that putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; that putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751! 21WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudent in their own sight! 22WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH376 of strengthH2428 to mingle strongH7941 drinkH8354;
