11 Woe, they that rise up early, and follow strong drink; that tarry till late; for wine shall burn them up.

12 For with harp, and psaltery, and tabrets, and pipes, drink they their wine; but they regard not the works of the Lord, and the works of his hands they consider not.

13 Therefore is my people become captive, because they know not the Lord; and is become a multitude of dead bodies, because of famine and thirst for water.

14 And Hades enlarged his appetite, and opened his mouth, continually; and her glorious, and great, and rich ones, and her pestilences, shall descend.

15 And the mean man shall be humbled, and the great man shall be dishonoured, and the eyes that are lifted up shall be humbled:

16 And the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God, the Holy One, shall be glorified in righteousness.

17 And they that are spoiled shall graze as bulls, and the waste places of them that are taken away shall lambs eat.

18 Woe, they that drag along their sins as with a long rcpe, and their transgressions as with a cow-hide chariot trace:

19 That say, Let him speedily bring near what he will do, that we may see; and let the counsel of the Holy One &003C; of Israel come, that we may perceive:

20 Woe, they that call evil good, and good evil; that set darkness as light, and light as darkness; that set bitter as sweet, and sweet as bitter!
