Isaiah 5:10-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

10. For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.

11. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!

12. And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, for lack of knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

14. Therefore hell hath enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it.

15. And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:

16. but the Lord of hosts is exalted in judgment, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
