Isaiah 5:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
“Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.”

¹¹Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
that they may run after strong drink,
who tarry late into the evening
till wine inflames them!
