- Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.
- They have harps and lyres at their banquets, tambourines and flutes and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD, no respect for the work of his hands.
- Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding; their men of rank will die of hunger and their masses will be parched with thirst.
- Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers.
- So man will be brought low and mankind humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled.

- Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
