“A PROPHET'S WOES Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may he placed alone in the midst of the earth! 9.

Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. 11. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12. …”
