Isaiah 5:9-11
World English Bible
9 In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate,
even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 For ten acres[a] of vineyard shall yield one bath,[b]
and a homer[c] of seed shall yield an ephah.”[d]
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink,
who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
