Isaiah 5:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
10 Large vineyards will give only a few bottles of wine. If you plant ten bags of seed, you will only get one bag of grain as your harvest.’
11 It will be bad for you people who like to get up early to start drinking. You continue to drink late into the night, until you are very drunk.
12 You have wild parties with plenty of music and wine. You make music with your lyres, harps, tambourines and flutes. But you do not understand the things that the Lord is doing. You do not see the things that he has made.

Isaiah 5:10-12
New International Version
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(A)
11 Woe(B) to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.(C)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(D) and timbrels(E) and wine,
but they have no regard(F) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(G)
