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! |
