In context

12 At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.

13 Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.

14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers!

15 So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.

16 But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
