I heard the Lord who rules over all announce a message. He said,

“You can be sure that the great houses will become empty.
    The fine homes will be left with no one living in them.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only six gallons of wine.
    360 pounds of seeds will produce only 36 pounds of grain.”

11 How terrible it will be for those who get up early in the morning
    to start drinking!
How terrible for those who stay up late at night
    until they are drunk with wine!

The Lord Almighty(A) has declared in my hearing:(B)

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(C)
    the fine mansions left without occupants.
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.”(D)

11 Woe(E) 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.(F)
