Isaiah 5:14

Woes On The Wicked

¹³
Therefore My people go into exile because they lack knowledge [of God];
And their honorable men are famished,
And their common people are parched with thirst.
¹⁴ 
Therefore Sheol (the realm of the dead) has increased its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure;
And Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her [boisterous] uproar and her [drunken] revelers descend into it.
¹⁵
So the common man will be bowed down and the man of importance degraded,
And the eyes of the proud (arrogant) will be degraded.
