Isaiah 5:8-14

8WoeH1945 unto them that join houseH1004 to houseH1004, that lay fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwellH3427 aloneH905 in the midstH7130 of the landH776! 9In mine earsH241 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, Of a truth manyH7227 housesH1004 shall beH1961 desolate, even greatH1419 and fair, without inhabitantH3427. 10For tenH6235 acres of vineyardH3754 shall yield oneH259 bathH1324, and a homer of seedH2233 shall yield but an ephahH374. 11WoeH1945 unto them that riseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may follow strongH7941 drinkH7941; that tarry late into the night, till wineH3196 inflame them! 12And the harpH3658 and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wineH3196, are in their feasts; but they regard not the workH4639 of Jehovah, neither have they consideredH7200 the operation of his handsH3027.

13ThereforeH3651 my peopleH5971 are goneH1540 into captivity for lack of knowledgeH1847; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitudeH1995 are parched with thirstH6772. 14ThereforeH3651 SheolH7585 hath enlargedH7337 its desireH5315, and openedH6473 its mouthH6310 without measure; and their glory, and their multitudeH1995, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it.
