Isaiah 5:8-12

Woe to those who attach house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, And you alone are a landowner in the midst of the land!

In my ears the Lord of armies has sworn, “Many houses shall certainly become desolate, Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

“For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine, And a homer of seed will yield only an ephah of grain.”

Woe to those who rise early in the morning so that they may pursue intoxicating drink, Who stay up late in the evening so that wine may inflame them!

Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine; But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the Lord, Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
