Revised Version 1895
Isaiah 5:11-22
11WoeH1945 unto them that riseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strongH7941 drinkH7941; that tarryH309 lateH309 into the night, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them!
12And the harpH3658 and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wineH3196, are in their feasts: but they regardH7200 notH3808 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068, neitherH3808 have they consideredH7200 the operation of his handsH3027.
13Therefore my peopleH5971 are goneH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540, for lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847: and their honourable menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 are parchedH6704 with thirstH6772.
14Therefore hell hath enlargedH7337 herH3381 desireH5315, and openedH6473 herH3381 mouthH6310 withoutH1097 measureH2706: and their glory, and their multitudeH1995, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descendH3381 intoH3381 it.
15And the mean manH376 is bowedH7817 downH7817, and the great manH376 is humbledH7817, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 are humbledH7817:
16but the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 the HolyH6918 One is sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666.
17Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH398 as in their pastureH1699, and the wasteH2723 placesH2723 of the fatH4220 ones shall wanderers eatH398.
18WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH5688 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 rope:
19that sayH559, Let him makeH3045 speedH4116, let him hastenH4116 his workH4639, that weH7200 may seeH7200 it: and let the counselH6098 of the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 drawH7126 nigh and comeH935, that weH7200 may knowH3045 it!
20WoeH1945 unto them that callH559 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 their ownH6440 eyesH5869, and prudentH995 in their ownH6440 sightH5869!
22WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH376 of strengthH2428 to mingle strongH7941 drinkH8354:
