Isaiah 5:10-12
International Children’s Bible
10 At that time a ten-acre vineyard will make only six gallons of wine.
And ten bushels of seed will grow only half a bushel of grain.”
11 How terrible it will be for people who rise early in the morning
to look for strong drink.
They stay awake late at night,
becoming drunk with wine.
12 At their parties they have lyres, harps,
tambourines, flutes and wine.
They don’t see what the Lord has done.
They don’t notice the work of his hands.
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)
