Isaiah 5:11-22

11WoeH1945 to them that rise earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strong drinkH7941; that continueH309 until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflamesH1814 them!1 12And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027. 13Therefore my peopleH5971 have gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772.2 14Therefore hellH7585 hath enlargedH7337 herselfH5315, and openedH6473 her mouthH6310 without measureH2706: and their gloryH1926, and their multitudeH1995, and their pompH7588, and he that rejoicethH5938, shall descendH3381 into it. 15And the mean manH120 shall be brought downH7817, and the mighty manH376 shall be humbledH8213, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 shall be abasedH8213: 16But the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666.3 17Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH7462 after their mannerH1699, and the waste placesH2723 of the fat onesH4220 shall strangersH1481 eatH398.

18WoeH1945 to them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH2256 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 ropeH5688: 19That sayH559, Let him make speedH4116, and hastenH2363 his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it : and let the counselH6098 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 draw nearH7126 and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it ! 20WoeH1945 to 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!4 21WoeH1945 to them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudentH995 in their own sightH6440!5 22WoeH1945 to them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH582 of strengthH2428 to mixH4537 strong drinkH7941:
