Isaiah 5:9-15 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

9. In my ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

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

11. Woe to them that rise early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflameth them!

12. And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

13. Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

14. Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

15. And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be abased.
