13 ^aTherefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no ^bknowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst. ‡

14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of ^athe fat ones strangers shall eat. ‡

18 Woe to those who¹ draw iniquity with cords of vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope; ‡
