²⁰ Death and Destruction^[a] are never satisfied,^(A)
    and neither are human eyes.^(B)

¹⁶ the grave,^(A) the barren womb,
    land, which is never satisfied with water,
    and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’

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)
14 Therefore Death^(K) expands its jaws,
    opening wide its mouth;^(L)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
    with all their brawlers and revelers.^(M)
15 So people will be brought low^(N)
    and everyone humbled,^(O)
    the eyes of the arrogant^(P) humbled.
