Isaiah 5:11-22

11WoeH1945 to those who riseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 that they may pursueH7291 1strongH7941 drinkH7941, Who stayH309 up lateH309 in the eveningH5399 that wineH3196 may inflameH1814 them!12Their banquetsH4960 are accompanied by lyreH3658 and 2harpH5035, by tambourineH8596 and fluteH2485, and by wineH3196; But they 3do not payH5027 attentionH5027 to the deedsH6467 of the LordH3068, NorH3808 do they considerH7200 the workH4639 of His handsH3027.

13ThereforeH3651 My peopleH5971 goH1540 into exileH1540 for their 4lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847; And 5their 6honorableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, And their multitudeH1995 is parchedH6704 with thirstH6772.14ThereforeH3651 7SheolH7585 has enlargedH7337 its 8throatH5315 and openedH6473 its mouthH6310 withoutH1097 measureH2706; And 9Jerusalem’s splendorH1926, her multitudeH1995, her dinH7588 of revelry and the jubilantH5938 within her, descendH3381 into it.15So the common manH120 will be humbledH7817 and the manH376 of importance abasedH8213, 10The eyesH5869 of the proudH1364 also will be abasedH8213.16But the 11LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will be 12exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, And the holyH6918 GodH410 will showH6942 Himself 13holyH6942 in righteousnessH6666.1714Then the lambsH3532 will grazeH7462 as in their pastureH1699, And strangersH1481 will eatH398 in the wasteH2723 placesH2723 of the 15wealthyH4220.

18WoeH1945 to those who dragH4900 16iniquityH5771 with the cordsH2256 of 17falsehoodH7723, And sinH2403 as if with cartH5699 ropesH5688;1918Who sayH559, “Let Him makeH4116 speedH4116, let Him hastenH2363 His workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it; And let the purposeH6098 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 drawH7126 nearH7126 And comeH935 to passH935, that we may knowH3045 it!”20WoeH1945 to those who 19callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; Who 2021substituteH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216 and lightH216 for darknessH2822; Who 22substituteH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966 and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!21WoeH1945 to those whoH2450 are 23wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869 And cleverH995 in their own sightH5048H6440!2224WoeH1945 to those who are heroesH1368 in drinkingH8354 wineH3196 And valiantH2428 menH376 in mixingH4537 strongH7941 drinkH7941,
