“Surely the great houses will become desolate,^(E)
    the fine mansions left without occupants.
¹⁰ A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath^[a] of wine;
    a homer^[b] of seed will yield only an ephah^[c] of grain.”^(F)

¹¹ Woe^(G) to those who rise early in the morning
    to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
    till they are inflamed with wine.^(H)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes^(I) and timbrels^(J) and wine,
but they have no regard^(K) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.^(L)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile^(M)
    for lack of understanding;^(N)
those of high rank^(O) will die of hunger
    and the common people will be parched with thirst.^(P)
14 Therefore Death^(Q) expands its jaws,
    opening wide its mouth;^(R)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
    with all their brawlers and revelers.^(S)
15 So people will be brought low^(T)
    and everyone humbled,^(U)
    the eyes of the arrogant^(V) humbled.

²⁷ your adulteries and lustful neighings,
    your shameless prostitution!^(A)
I have seen your detestable acts
    on the hills and in the fields.^(B)
Woe to you, Jerusalem!
    How long will you be unclean?”^(C)

¹² “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed^(A)
    and establishes a town by injustice!
¹³ Has not the Lord Almighty determined
    that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,^(B)
    that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?^(C)
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory^(D) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.^(E)

¹⁵ “Woe to him who gives drink^(F) to his neighbors,
    pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
    so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
¹⁶ You will be filled with shame^(G) instead of glory.^(H)
    Now it is your turn! Drink^(I) and let your nakedness be exposed^[a]!^(J)
The cup^(K) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
    and disgrace will cover your glory.
¹⁷ The violence^(L) you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
    and your destruction of animals will terrify you.^(M)
For you have shed human blood;^(N)
    you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
