13  Therefore my people go into exile

^lfor lack of knowledge;¹

their ^mhonored men go hungry,²

and their multitude is parched with thirst.

14  Therefore Sheol has ⁿenlarged its appetite

and opened ^oits mouth beyond measure,

and the nobility of Jerusalem³ and her multitude will go down,

her revelers and he who ^pexults in her.

15  ^qMan is humbled, and each one is brought low,

and the eyes of the haughty⁴ are brought low.

16  ^rBut the Lord of hosts is exalted⁵ in justice,

and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.

17  Then shall the lambs graze ^sas in their pasture,

and ^tnomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.

24  Therefore, ^bas the tongue of fire devours the stubble,

and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,

so ^ctheir root will be ^das rottenness,

and their blossom go up like dust;

for they have ^erejected the law of the Lord of hosts,

and have ^fdespised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25  Therefore ^gthe anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,

and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them,

and ^hthe mountains quaked;

and their corpses were ⁱas refuse

in the midst of the streets.

^jFor all this his anger has not turned away,

and his hand is stretched out still.
