Isaiah 5:11 - The Message

Doom to those who get up early
   and start drinking booze before breakfast,
Who stay up all hours of the night
   drinking themselves into a stupor.
They make sure their banquets are well-furnished
   with harps and flutes and plenty of wine,
But they’ll have nothing to do with the work of God,
   pay no mind to what he is doing.
Therefore my people will end up in exile
   because they don’t know the score.
Their "big men" will starve to death
   and the common people die of thirst.
Sheol developed a huge appetite,
   swallowing people nonstop!
Big people and little people alike
   down that gullet, to say nothing of all the drunks.
The down-and-out on a par
   with the high-and-mighty,
Windbag boasters crumpled,
   flaccid as a punctured bladder.
But by working justice,
   God-of-the-Angel-Armies will be a mountain.
By working righteousness,
   Holy God will show what "holy" is.
And lambs will graze
   as if they owned the place,
Kids and calves
   right at home in the ruins.
