Isaiah 5:8-14

8Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field until there is no more room and you alone are left in the land.

9I heard the Lord of Armies say: Indeed, many houses will become desolate, grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.

10For a ten-acre vineyard will yield only six gallons of wine, and ten bushels of seed will yield only one bushel of grain.

11Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of beer, who linger into the evening, inflamed by wine.

12At their feasts they have lyre, harp, tambourine, flute, and wine. They do not perceive the Lord’s actions, and they do not see the work of his hands.

13Therefore my people will go into exile because they lack knowledge; her dignitaries are starving, and her masses are parched with thirst.

14Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses, her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!
