“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.
aEach man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
