Isaiah 5:8-14

8WoeH1945 to those who 1addH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004 and joinH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, UntilH5704 there is noH657 moreH657 roomH4725, So that you have to liveH3427 aloneH905 in the midstH7130 of the landH776!9In my earsH241 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has sworn, “SurelyH518H3808, 2manyH7227 housesH1004 shall becomeH1961 3desolateH8047, Even greatH1419 and fineH2896 onesH2896, withoutH369 occupantsH3427.10For 4tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 will yieldH6213 only oneH259 5bathH1324 of wine, And a 6homerH2563 of seedH2233 will yieldH6213 but an 7ephahH374 of grain.”11WoeH1945 to those who riseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 that they may pursueH7291 8strongH7941 drinkH7941, Who stayH309 up lateH309 in the eveningH5399 that wineH3196 may inflameH1814 them!12Their banquetsH4960 are accompanied by lyreH3658 and 9harpH5035, by tambourineH8596 and fluteH2485, and by wineH3196; But they 10do not payH5027 attentionH5027 to the deedsH6467 of the LordH3068, NorH3808 do they considerH7200 the workH4639 of His handsH3027.

13ThereforeH3651 My peopleH5971 goH1540 into exileH1540 for their 11lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847; And 12their 13honorableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, And their multitudeH1995 is parchedH6704 with thirstH6772.14ThereforeH3651 14SheolH7585 has enlargedH7337 its 15throatH5315 and openedH6473 its mouthH6310 withoutH1097 measureH2706; And 16Jerusalem’s splendorH1926, her multitudeH1995, her dinH7588 of revelry and the jubilantH5938 within her, descendH3381 into it.
