Isaiah 5:14

Woes On The Wicked

¹³ Therefore My people will go into exile
because they lack knowledge;
her dignitaries are starving,
and her masses are parched with thirst.
¹⁴ Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who carouse in her!
¹⁵ Humanity is brought low, man is humbled,
and haughty eyes are humbled.
