Isaiah 5:9-11
Legacy Standard Bible
9 In my ears Yahweh of hosts has sworn, “Surely, (A)many houses shall become (B)desolate,
Even great and good ones, without inhabitants.
10 For (C)ten [a]acres of vineyard will yield only one [b]bath of wine,
And a [c](D)homer of seed will yield but an [d]ephah of grain.”
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue (E)strong drink,
Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!
