Isaiah 5:11

Read in context

Isaiah 5:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.

10 For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”

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

12 At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.

13 Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
