Isaiah 5:8–17

⁸Woe unto them that join ^ohouse to house,

That lay ^ofield to field, till there be no place,

That ^†they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

^9||In mine ears said the Lord of hosts,

^†Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,

Even great and fair, without inhabitant.

¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one ^pbath,

And ^qthe seed of ^pan homer shall yield ^pan ephah.

^11rWoe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink;

^sThat continue until night, till wine ^||tinflame them!

¹²And ^uvthe harp, and ^uwthe viol, the ^uvxytabret, and ^uypipe,

And wine, are in their feasts:

But ^zthey regard not ^athe work of the Lord,

^zNeither ^aconsider ^bthe operation of his hands.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, ^cbecause they have no knowledge:

And ^†their honourable men are famished,

And their multitude dried up with thirst.

¹⁴Therefore ^dhell hath enlarged herself,

And ^eopened ^fher mouth without measure:

And their glory, and ^fftheir multitude, and their ^gpomp,

And ^ffhe that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

¹⁵And ^hthe mean man shall be brought down,

And the mighty man shall be humbled,

And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

¹⁶But ⁱthe Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment,

And ^||†God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after ^jtheir manner,

And the waste places of ^kthe fat ones shall ^lstrangers eat.
