8 Wo to those touching house upon house, they will bring near field upon field, till no more place, and ye dwelt yourselves alone in the midst of the earth. 9 In the ears of Jehovah of armies, If not many houses shall be for desolation, great and good from none dwelling. 10 For ten measures of a vineyard shall make one bath, and the seed of an omer shall make an ephah. 11 Wo to those rising early in the morning, they will follow strong drink; remaining in the evening, wine will inflame them. 12 And there was the harp and the lyre, the drum and the pipe, and the wine of their drinking's: but the work of Jehovah they will not look at, and the work of his hands they saw not. 13 For this my people were carried into exile from not knowing; and their honor, men of famine, and their multitude dry with thirst. 14 For this, hades enlarged her soul, and opened wide her mouth without bound: and her honor shall go down, and her multitude, and her tumult, and he rejoicing, into her. 15 And man shall bow down, and man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the haughty shall be humbled. 16 And Jehovah of armies shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God consecrated in justice. 17 And the lambs feed according to their word, and the deserts of the fat ones shall strangers eat. 18 Wo to those drawing iniquity with cords of evil, and sin as the cords of a wagon: 19 Saying, He shall hasten, he shall urge on his work, so that we shall see: and the counsel of the holy one of Israel shall draw near and come and we shall know. 20 Wo to those saying, to evil, good, and to the good, evil; putting darkness for light, and light for darkness; putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitten. 21 Wo to the wise in their eyes, and knowing before their face. 22 Wo to the strong to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink: 23 Justifying the unjust on account of a gift, and they will take away the justice of the just from him.
