7. For the vineyard of the Lord of the hosts is the house of Israel and every man of Judah his pleasant plant; and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8. Woe unto those that join house to house, that lay field to field, until they have done away with the borders! Will ye dwell alone in the midst of the earth?
9. In my ears, the Lord of the hosts said, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10. For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
11. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they may continue their drunkenness; that continue until night until wine inflames them!
12. And the harp and the viol, the tambourine and flutes and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the work of the Lord, nor consider the work of his hands.
13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; their glory died of hunger, and their multitude dried up of thirst.
14. Therefore Sheol has enlarged himself and opened his mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude descended into it and their pomp and he that rejoiced in him.
15. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
16. But the Lord of the hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God, that is holy, shall be sanctified with righteousness.
17. Then the lambs shall be fed after their manner, and strangers shall eat the fat ones that are forsaken.
18. Woe unto those that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope,
19. that say, Let him make speed and hasten his work that we may see it, and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come that we may know it!
