Isaiah 5:9 · American Standard Version

Isaiah 5:9 in context

  1. 7For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel,
    and the men of Judah his pleasant plant:
    and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression;
    for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.
  2. 8Woe to those who join house to house,
    who lay field to field, until there is no room,
    and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
  3. 9In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate,
    even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
  4. 10For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,
    and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
  5. 11Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink,
    who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!
