Isaiah 5:11 in Context — Isaiah 5

9 Voici ce que m’a révélé l’Éternel des armées: Certainement, ces maisons nombreuses seront dévastées, Ces grandes et belles maisons n’auront plus d’habitants.

10 Même dix arpents de vigne ne produiront qu’un bath, Et un homer de semence ne produira qu’un épha.

11 Malheur à ceux qui de bon matin Courent après les boissons enivrantes, Et qui bien avant dans la nuit Sont échauffés par le vin!

12 La harpe et le luth, le tambourin, la flûte et le vin, animent leurs festins; Mais ils ne prennent point garde à l’œuvre de l’Éternel, Et ils ne voient point le travail de ses mains.

13 C’est pourquoi mon peuple sera soudain emmené captif; Sa noblesse mourra de faim, Et sa multitude sera desséchée par la soif.
