13 Therefore my people go into exile
    because they lack understanding;
my[a] honored men go hungry,
    and the crowd is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol’s[b] appetite has grown;
    it has opened its mouth beyond limit.
Jerusalem’s nobility and her multitudes will go there,
    along with her brawlers and whoever is reveling within her.
15 Humanity is brought low,
    and each one is humbled,
        while the eyes of the self-exalting are brought low.
