Isaiah 5:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 A ten-acre vineyard will make only a little wine,[a] and many sacks of seed will grow only a little grain.[b]”
11 How terrible it will be for you people who rise early in the morning and go looking for beer to drink. You stay awake late at night, getting drunk on wine. 12 At your parties with your wine, harps, drums, flutes, and other musical instruments, you don’t see what the Lord has done. You don’t notice what his hands have made.

a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(A)
11 Woe(B) 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.(C)

but they have no regard(F) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(G)
