13 Therefore, my people shall end up in exile
    because they have no knowledge of my deeds.
Their nobles are dying of hunger
    and their masses are parched with thirst.
14 As a result, the netherworld has increased its appetite
    and opened its jaws to an immeasurable extent,

    and the eyes of the haughty are humbled.
