13 Therefore my people go into exilefor lack of understanding,Its nobles starving,its masses parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throatand opens its mouth beyond measure;Down into it go nobility and masses,tumult and revelry.
15 All shall be abased, each one brought low,and the eyes of the haughty lowered,
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted by judgment,by justice the Holy God shown holy.
17 Lambs shall graze as at pasture,young goats shall eat in the ruins of the rich.
18 Ah! Those who tug at guilt with cords of perversity,and at sin as if with cart ropes!
19 Who say, “Let him make haste,let him speed his work, that we may see it;On with the plan of the Holy One of Israel!let it come to pass, that we may know it!”
