Isaiah 5:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 [a]Ah! Those who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of strong drink,
lingering late
inflamed by wine,
12 Banqueting on wine with harp and lyre,
timbrel and flute,(A)
But the deed of the Lord they do not regard,
the work of his hands they do not see!(B)
Footnotes
- 5:11–13 An oracle against debauchery and indifference. Strong drink: the Hebrew word shekar means either beer or a type of wine, perhaps date wine, not distilled liquor.
Isaiah 5:11-12
New International Version
11 Woe(A) to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.(B)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(C) and timbrels(D) and wine,
but they have no regard(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(F)
Isaiah 5:11-12
King James Version
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.
