11 How horrible it will be for those
who get up early to look for a drink,
who sit up late until they are drunk from wine.
12 At their feasts there are lyres and harps,
tambourines and flutes, and wine.
Yet, they don’t pay attention to what the Lord is doing
or see what his hands have done.

13 “My people will go into exile
because they don’t understand what I’m doing.
Honored men will starve,
and common people will be parched with thirst.”

11 Woe(A) to those who rise early in the morning
    to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
    till they are inflamed with wine.(B)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes(C) and timbrels(D) and wine,
but they have no regard(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.(F)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(G)
    for lack of understanding;(H)
those of high rank(I) will die of hunger
    and the common people will be parched with thirst.(J)
