The Lord of All has sworn in my ears, “For sure, many houses will be laid waste. Large and beautiful houses will be empty. 10 For ten fields of vines will give only eleven large bottles of wine. And 110 jars of seed will give only eleven jars of grain.” 11 It is bad for those who get up early in the morning to run after strong drink! It is bad for those who stay up late in the evening that they may get drunk!

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)
