Isaiah 5:9
Berean Standard Bible
I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
Context
7For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are the plant of His delight.
He looked for justice,
but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,
but heard a cry of distress. 8Woe to you who add house to house
and join field to field
until no place is left
and you live alone in the land. 9I heard the LORD of Hosts declare:
“Surely many houses will become desolate,
great mansions left unoccupied. 10For ten acres of vineyard
will yield but a bath of wine,*
and a homer of seed
only an ephah of grain.*” 11Woe to those who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of strong drink,
who linger into the evening,
to be inflamed by wine.
