Isaiah 5:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Eternal One: Make no mistake: My people are headed for exile
        because they never took note;
    Even the most honorable among them will endure hunger
        while the majority will be parched with thirst.

¹⁴ Make no mistake: the force of death is insatiable.
    The great gaping grave is opened wide
To swallow whole Jerusalem’s opulence and pageantry—
    her noble citizens and her common folk, all the raucous revelry.
¹⁵ Human beings will be cut down to size, one after another.
    Those who walk around with their noses in the air will be humiliated.
