13Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.
14Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend [into it].
15The mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:
16but Yahweh of Hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.
18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;
19who say, Let him make speed, let him 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!
