Isaiah 5:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 5:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to chase after beer,[a]
who stay up late into the night until wine inflames them.
12 Harp, lyre, drum, flute, and wine are at their drinking parties,
but they have no regard for the work of the Lord,
nor have they paid attention to what his hands are doing.
13 This is why my people go into captivity—lack of knowledge.
Their dignitaries starve to death,
and the whole crowd is parched with thirst.
