Isaiah 5:12-14
New International Version
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(A) and timbrels(B) and wine,
but they have no regard(C) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(D)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(E)
for lack of understanding;(F)
those of high rank(G) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(H)
14 Therefore Death(I) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(J)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(K)

Isaiah 5:12-14
King James Version
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.
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.
