Isaiah 5:10-21 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.

11. Woe unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, till wine inflameth them!

12. And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation of his hands.

13. Therefore my people are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

14. Therefore doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend into it, and her multitude, and her tumult, and all that is joyful within her.

15. And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;

16. and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy ·God hallowed in righteousness.

17. And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

18. Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as with cart-ropes!

19. who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

20. Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
