“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
That they may1 follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But bthey do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
Because they have no bknowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Isaiah 5:11:
Isaiah 5:11-12
I do not want to press the scripture too far, because the word feast does not necessarily always apply to one of the Feasts of God; it can simply apply to having a big blast, a party, where all kinds of fun and games are being played along with the drinking, so that people are really having fun.
I brought this scripture in because I wanted us to see that it is entirely possible to have what we might consider to be the good things of life as a blessing from God, and that these very things work to obliterate God from the picture.
