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.”(A)

11 Woe(B) 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.(C)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes(D) and timbrels(E) and wine,
but they have no regard(F) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.(G)
