14. So the grave is hungry 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 man will be brought low. People will be put to shame. Those who brag will be brought down.
16. But the Lord who rules over all will be honored because he judges fairly. The holy God will show that he is holy by doing what is right.
17. Then sheep will graze as if they were in their own grasslands. Lambs will eat grass among the destroyed buildings where rich people used to live.
18. How terrible it will be for those who continue to sin and lie about it! How terrible for those who keep on doing what is evil as if they were tied to it!
19. How terrible for those who say, "Let God hurry up and do what he says he will. We want to see it happen. Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan soon. We want to know what it is."
20. How terrible it will be for those who say that what is evil is good! How terrible for those who say that what is good is evil! How terrible for those who say that darkness is light and light is darkness! How terrible for those who say that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter!
21. How terrible it will be for those who think they are wise! How terrible for those who think they are really clever!
22. How terrible it will be for those who are heroes at drinking wine! How terrible for those who are heroes at mixing drinks!
