13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, for lack of knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
14. Therefore hell hath enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it.
15. And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:
16. but the Lord of hosts is exalted in judgment, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17. Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.
18. Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19. that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
20. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
