9 The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:

“Surely many houses shall be desolate,

large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.

10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,

and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.”

9 In mine ears said the Lord of hosts,

Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,

Even great and fair, without inhabitant.

10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,

And the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

9 But I have heard the Lord of Heaven’s Armies

swear a solemn oath:

“Many houses will stand deserted;

even beautiful mansions will be empty.

10 Ten acres of vineyard will not produce even six gallons of wine.

Ten baskets of seed will yield only one basket of grain.”

9 In my hearing the Lord of hosts said,

“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,

Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.

10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,

And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah.”

9 The Lord All-Powerful said this to me:

“The fine houses will be destroyed;

the large and beautiful houses will be left empty.

10 At that time a ten-acre vineyard will make only six gallons of wine,

and ten bushels of seed will grow only half a bushel of grain.”

9 In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.

9 In mine ears Jehovah of hosts hath said, Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant. 10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.

9 With my own ears I heard the Lord of Armies say, 

“Many houses will become empty. 

Large, beautiful houses will be without people to live in them. 

10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only six gallons of wine, 

and two quarts of seed will produce only four quarts of grain.” 

9 I heard the Lord of Hosts say:

Indeed, many houses will become desolate,

grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.

10 For a ten-acre vineyard will yield

only six gallons,

and 10 bushels of seed will yield

only one bushel.

9 The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:

Surely many houses shall be desolate,

large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.

10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,

and a homer of seed shall yield a mere ephah.

9 Yahweh of hosts said in my ears:

Surely many houses shall become a desolation,

large and beautiful ones without inhabitant.

10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,

and the seed of a homer will yield an ephah.

9 I heard the Lord who rules over all announce a message. He said,

“You can be sure that the great houses will become empty.

The fine homes will be left with no one living in them.

10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only six gallons of wine.

Six bushels of seeds will produce less than a bushel of grain.”

9 In my ears the Lord of hosts has sworn, “Surely, many houses shall become desolate,

Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

10 “For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine,

And a homer of seed will yield but an ephah of grain.”
