God's Word Translation

Isaiah 5:11-14 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. How horrible it will be for thosewho 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 doingor see what his hands have done.

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

14. That is why the grave’s appetite increases.It opens its mouth very wideso that honored people and common people will go down into it.Those who are noisy and joyous will go down into it.
