Por eso ha jurado el Señor del universo
que sus muchas casas quedarán desoladas
(las grandes y lujosas), vacías de vecinos.
10 Pues diez yugadas de viña
sólo darán una cántara,
y una carga de semilla
sólo dará una canasta.
11 ¡Ay de los que ya de madrugada
andan en busca de licores,
y siguen así hasta el ocaso,
hasta que el vino los enchispa!

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)
