In context

11Woe to them that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait at it till the evening: for the wine shall inflame them.

12For they drink wine with harp, and psaltery, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.

15And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.
