Isaiah 5:13

Therefore My people, as the Lord still affectionately calls them, are gone into captivity, the visitation of the Babylonian captivity being pictured as already taking place, because they have no knowledge, not only because they hardened their hearts against all understanding, but because the calamity, for this reason, also caught them unawares; and their honorable men are famished, literally, "become starvelings," people suffering hunger, and their multitude dried up with thirst, a vivid description of Israel as it was driven into exile. Such is ever the consequence when the luxury-loving people of this world deliberately exclude the understanding of spiritual things from their hearts.
