Isaiah 5:14 in context
Isaiah 5:11–17
Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink,
who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts;
but they don’t respect the work of the LORD,
neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge.
Their honorable men are famished,
and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
So man is brought low,
mankind is humbled,
and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
but the LORD of Armies is exalted in justice,
and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
