Isaiah 5:10-12
International Standard Version
10 For ten acres of vineyard will produce only one bath,[a]
and one omer[b] of seed[c] will produce only one ephah.”[d]
Judgment on Alcoholics
11 “How terrible it will be for those who rise at dawn
in order to grab[e] a stiff drink,
for those who stay up late at night
as wine inflames them!
12 They have the lyre and harp,
the tambourine and flute,
as well as wine at their festivals,
but they don’t respect what the Lord is doing,
nor do they consider his actions.[f]
