Isaiah 5:11 Context
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. 13¶ Therefore my people are gone into captiuitie, because they haue no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, aud their multitude dried vp with thirst.
