Verse 13
The result of driving other people off their land and living only for pleasure would be, ironically, that the Israelites would be driven off their land and enjoy little pleasure. Instead of more food and drink there would be famine and parched throats for all the people (cf. Isaiah 3:16-24). Each of the two double "therefore" sections contains a short description of the immediate consequences of the sins just mentioned (Isaiah 5:13; Isaiah 5:24), and then a longer description of the long-term results (Isaiah 5:14-17; Isaiah 5:24). Carousing would end in captivity.
