Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 5:12-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. They have lyre and harp,tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,or see the work of his hands.

13. Therefore my people go into exile for lack of knowledge;their honored men go hungry,and their multitude is parched with thirst.

14. Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetiteand opened its mouth beyond measure,and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude will go down,her revelers and he who exults in her.

15. Man is humbled, and each one is brought low,and the eyes of the haughty are brought low.

16. But the Lord of hosts is exalted in justice,and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.

17. Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture,and nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.
