Isaiah 5:11-15
11Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue 1strong drink, Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!12Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and 2harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine; But they 3do not pay attention to the deeds of the Lord, Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
13Therefore My people go into exile for their 4lack of knowledge; And 5their 6honorable men are famished, And their multitude is parched with thirst.14Therefore 7Sheol has enlarged its 8throat and opened its mouth without measure; And 9Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.15So the common man will be humbled and the man of importance abased, 10The eyes of the proud also will be abased.
