Isaiah 5:9 in Context — Isaiah 5

7 La vigne de l’Éternel des armées, c’est la maison d’Israël, Et les hommes de Juda, c’est le plant qu’il chérissait. Il avait espéré de la droiture, et voici du sang versé! De la justice, et voici des cris de détresse!

8 Malheur à ceux qui ajoutent maison à maison, Et qui joignent champ à champ, Jusqu’à ce qu’il n’y ait plus d’espace, Et qu’ils habitent seuls au milieu du pays!

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!
