### Description
The predictive past is a figure of speech that uses the past tense to refer to things that will happen in the future. This is sometimes done in prophecy to show that the event will certainly happen. It is also called the prophetic perfect.

### Reason this is a translation issue:
=======
>Therefore my people have gone into captivity for lack of understanding;
>their leaders go hungry, and their masses have nothing to drink. (Isaiah 5:13 ULB)

### Reasons this is a translation issue:
>>>>>>> Stashed changes
Readers who are not aware of the past tense being used in prophecy to refer to future events may find it confusing.
