Isaiah 5:12-16

View Full Chapter

12They have harps and lyres at their banquets, pipes and timbrels and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD, no respect for the work of his hands.

13Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding; those of high rank will die of hunger and the common people will be parched with thirst.

14Therefore Death expands its jaws, opening wide its mouth; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers.

15So people will be brought low and everyone humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled.

16But the LORD Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts.
