Isaiah 5:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And the harp and viol, timbrel and pipe, and wine are in their feasts: but they regard not the [a]work of the Lord, neither consider the work of his hands.
13 Therefore my people [b]is gone into captivity, because they had [c]no knowledge, and the glory thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore [d]hell hath enlarged itself, and hath opened his mouth without measure, and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, shall descend into it.
