Isaiah 5:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ So my people will be taken away as prisoners.
    That’s because they don’t understand what the Lord has done.
Their nobles will die of hunger.
    The rest of the people won’t have any water to drink.
¹⁴ So Death opens its jaws to receive them.
    Its mouth is open wide to swallow them up.
Their nobles and the rest of the people will go down into it.
    They will go there together with all those who have wild parties.
¹⁵ So people will be brought low.
    Everyone will be made humble.
    Those who brag will be brought down.
