Bible. Isaiah
Their honorable men are famished, and their multitudes are
parched with thirst.
005:014 Therefore Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.} has enlarged
its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory,
their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them,
descend into it.
005:015 So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes
of the arrogant ones are humbled;
005:016 but Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One
is sanctified in righteousness.
005:017 Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers
will eat the ruins of the rich.
005:018 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,
and wickedness as with cart rope;
005:019 Who say, "Let him make speed, let him hasten his work,
that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One
of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!"
005:020 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness
for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
005:021 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent
in their own sight!
005:022 Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions
at mixing strong drink;
005:023 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice
for the innocent!
005:024 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root
shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust;
because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies,
and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
005:025 Therefore Yahweh's anger burns against his people, and he has
stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them.
The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse
in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not
turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
005:026 He will lift up a banner to the nations from far,
and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth.
Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
005:027 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber
nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be untied,
nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
005:028 whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses'
hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
005:029 Their roaring will be like a lioness. They will roar like
young lions. Yes, they shall roar, and seize their prey
and carry it off, and there will be no one to deliver.
005:030 They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land behold, darkness and distress.
The light is darkened in its clouds.
