Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
5 Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down:
6 and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.
7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of Hosts 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.
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there be no room, and you be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 In my ears [says] Yahweh of Hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and beautiful, without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield [but] an ephah.
11 Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; who stay late into the night, until wine inflame them!
