Isaiah 5:13-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
13
Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge;
And their nobles are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat and opened its mouth beyond measure;
And Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her noise
of revelry,
and the jubilant within her, descend
into it.
15
So
the common
people will be humbled and
the
person
of importance
brought low,
The eyes of the haughty also will be brought low.
16
But the
Lord
of armies will be exalted in judgment,
And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
17
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
And strangers will eat in the ruins of the wealthy.
18
Woe to those who drag wrongdoing with the cords of deceit,
And sin as if with cart ropes;
19
Who say, 'Let Him hurry, let Him do His work quickly, so that we may see
it;
And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know
it!
'
20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!
22
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine,
And valiant men in mixing intoxicating drink,
23
Who declare the wicked innocent for a bribe,
And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
24
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their root will become like rot, and their blossom blow away like dust;
For they have rejected the Law of the
Lord
of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
For this reason the anger of the
Lord
has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them.
And the mountains quaked, and their corpses lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
Despite all this, His anger is not spent,
But His hand is still stretched out.
King James Version
Chapter 5
13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15
And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16
But the
Lord
of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17
Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers 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, and 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!
21
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23
Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the
Lord
of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore is the anger of the
Lord
kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
13
Therefore my people will go into exile
because they lack knowledge;
her dignitaries are starving,
and her masses are parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!
15
Humanity is brought low, each person is humbled,
and haughty eyes are humbled.
16
But the
Lord
of Armies is exalted by his justice,
and the holy God shows that he is holy through his righteousness.
17
Lambs will graze
as if in their own pastures,
and resident aliens will eat
among the ruins of the rich.
18
Woe to those who drag iniquity
with cords of deceit
and pull sin along with cart ropes,
19
to those who say:
"Let him hurry up and do his work quickly
so that we can see it!
Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel take place
so that we can know it!"
20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21
Woe to those who consider themselves wise
and judge themselves clever.
22
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
who are champions at pouring beer,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe
and deprive the innocent of justice.
24
Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw
and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will become like something rotten
and their blossoms will blow away like dust,
for they have rejected
the instruction of the
Lord
of Armies,
and they have despised
the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the
Lord
’s anger burned against his people.
He raised his hand against them and struck them;
the mountains quaked,
and their corpses were like garbage in the streets.
In all this, his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is still raised to strike.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
13
So my people will go into exile far away
because they do not know me.
Those who are great and honored will starve,
and the common people will die of thirst.
14
The grave is licking its lips in anticipation,
opening its mouth wide.
The great and the lowly
and all the drunken mob will be swallowed up.
15
Humanity will be destroyed, and people brought down;
even the arrogant will lower their eyes in humiliation.
16
But the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies will be exalted by his justice.
The holiness of God will be displayed by his righteousness.
17
In that day lambs will find good pastures,
and fattened sheep and young goats will feed among the ruins.
18
What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them
with ropes made of lies,
who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!
19
They even mock God and say,
'Hurry up and do something!
We want to see what you can do.
Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan,
for we want to know what it is.'
20
What sorrow for those who say
that evil is good and good is evil,
that dark is light and light is dark,
that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.
21
What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes
and think themselves so clever.
22
What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine
and boast about all the alcohol they can hold.
23
They take bribes to let the wicked go free,
and they punish the innocent.
24
Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble
and dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will rot
and their flowers wither.
For they have rejected the law of the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies;
they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
That is why the
Lord
’s anger burns against his people,
and why he has raised his fist to crush them.
The mountains tremble,
and the corpses of his people litter the streets like garbage.
But even then the
Lord
’s anger is not satisfied.
His fist is still poised to strike!
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
13
Therefore my people go into exile
for lack of knowledge;
their honored men go hungry,
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite
and opened its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude will go down,
her revelers and he who exults in her.
15
Man is humbled, and each one is brought low,
and the eyes of the haughty are brought low.
16
But the
Lord
of hosts is exalted in justice,
and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
17
Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture,
and nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.
18
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,
who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19
who say: "Let him be quick,
let him speed his work
that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
and let it come, that we may know it!"
20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
22
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!
24
Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will be as rottenness,
and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the
Lord
of hosts,
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the anger of the
Lord
was kindled against his people,
and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,
and the mountains quaked;
and their corpses were as refuse
in the midst of the streets.
For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
New International Version
Chapter 5
13
Therefore my people will go into exile
for lack of understanding;
those of high rank will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Death expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.
15
So people will be brought low
and everyone humbled,
the eyes of the arrogant humbled.
16
But the
Lord
Almighty will be exalted by his justice,
and the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts.
17
Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;
lambs will feed among the ruins of the rich.
18
Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,
and wickedness as with cart ropes,
19
to those who say, "Let God hurry;
let him hasten his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it."
20
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
22
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
23
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.
24
Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the
Lord
Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the
Lord
’s anger burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,
and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
13
Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because
they have
no knowledge;
Their honorable men
are
famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
15
People shall be brought down,
Each man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
16
But the
Lord
of hosts shall be exalted in judgment,
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
17
Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat.
18
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;
19
That say, “Let Him make speed
and
hasten His work,
That we may see
it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know
it.
”
20
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21
Woe to
those who are
wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
22
Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23
Who justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!
24
Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So
their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the
Lord
of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25
Therefore the anger of the
Lord
is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And the hills trembled.
Their carcasses
were
as refuse in the midst of the streets.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand
is
stretched out still.
