⁹I heard the Lord of heavenly forces say this:^[a]
Many houses will become total ruins,
    large, fine houses, with no one living in them.
¹⁰Ten acres of vineyard
    will produce just one bath,^[b]
    and a homer of seed
        will produce only an ephah.

¹¹Doom to those who wake up early in the morning to run after beer,
to those who stay up late, lit up by wine.
