Context Readings

Woes On The Wicked

10 Indeed, a large vineyard will produce just a few gallons, and enough seed to yield several bushels will produce less than a bushel." 11 Those who get up early to drink beer are as good as dead, those who keep drinking long after dark until they are intoxicated with wine. 12 They have stringed instruments, tambourines, flutes, and wine at their parties. So they do not recognize what the Lord is doing, they do not perceive what he is bringing about.
