Isaiah 5:13

Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Therefore my people are gone into captivity - the prophet sees the future as if it were before his eyes.

Because (they have) no knowledge - because of their foolish recklessness and willful ignorance as to God, His law, and His visitations of Providence, chastisement, and grace (; ; , "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge ... thou hast forgotten the law of thy God;" ).

Their honourourable men (are) famished - awful contrast to their luxurious feasts (Isaiah 5:11); Hebrew, 'their glory (are) men (literally, mortals) of famine.'

And their multitude - plebeians, in contradistinction to the "honourable men" or nobles.

Dried up with thirst - (Psalms 107:4.) Contrast to their drinking (). In their deportation and exile they shall hunger and thirst.
