Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 5:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 The Lord of Armies announces this in my hearing:
I swear that many houses will be deserted.
Even the large and beautiful houses will be unoccupied.
10 Then ten acres[a] of vineyard will yield only six gallons[b] of wine,
and six bushels[c] of seed will yield less than a bushel.[d]
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to chase after beer,[e]
who stay up late into the night until wine inflames them.
