“Surely the great houses will become desolate,^(E)
    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.”^(F)

¹¹ Woe^(G) 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.^(H)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes^(I) and timbrels^(J) and wine,
but they have no regard^(K) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.^(L)

¹⁸ Woe^(A) to those who draw sin along with cords^(B) of deceit,
    and wickedness^(C) as with cart ropes,
¹⁹ to those who say, “Let God hurry;
    let him hasten^(D) his work
    so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One^(E) of Israel—
    let it approach, let it come into view,
    so we may know it.”^(F)

²⁰ Woe^(G) to those who call evil good^(H)
    and good evil,^(I)
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,^(J)
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.^(K)

²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes^(L)
    and clever in their own sight.

²² Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine^(M)
    and champions at mixing drinks,^(N)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,^(O)
    but deny justice^(P) to the innocent.^(Q)
