Isaiah 5:10 Context
8¶ Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth. 9In mine eares said the Lord of hostes, Of a trueth many houses shall be desolate, euen great and faire without inhabitant. 10Yea ten acres of vineyard shall yeeld one Bath, and the seed of an Homer shall yeeld an Ephah. 11¶ Woe vnto them that rise vp earely in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, that continue vntill night, till wine enflame them. 12And the harpe and the viole, the tabret and pipe, and wine are in their feasts: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 5:10
5:10 One bath - Of wine. The bath contained about eight gallons. Thus an acre did not yield one gallon. An ephah - Which was of the same quantity with the bath, only the bath was the measure of liquid things, the ephah of dry things; and a ephah was the tenth part of an homer. So instead of the increase which that fruitful land commonly yielded, they should loose nine parts of their seed.
