Isaiah 5:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
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.
12 Harp, lyre, drum, flute, and wine are at their drinking parties,
but they have no regard for the work of the Lord,
nor have they paid attention to what his hands are doing.
