Isaiah 5:10 meaning and explanation
For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
Isaiah 5:10, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This line falls within the LORD's declaration of judgment on Judah's wealthy landowners, who had been joining field to field and house to house (verses 8 to 9). The prophet gives concrete measures of devastating reversal: ten acres, literally ten yoke-pairs of vineyard, will produce only one bath of wine, roughly twenty-two liters, and a homer of seed, about six bushels, will yield only an ephah, a tenth of that.
