13 “My people will go into exile
because they don’t understand what I’m doing.
Honored men will starve,
and common people will be parched with thirst.”
14 That is why the grave’s appetite increases.

15 People will be brought down. Everyone will be humbled.
And the eyes of arrogant people will be humbled.
