Isaiah 5:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ The vineyard of the Lord of heavenly forces is the house of Israel,
    and the people of Judah are the plantings in which God delighted.
God expected justice, but there was bloodshed;
    righteousness, but there was a cry of distress!

⁸ Doom to those who acquire house after house,
    who annex field to field until there is no more space left
    and only you live alone in the land.
⁹ I heard the Lord of heavenly forces say this:^[a]
Many houses will become total ruins,
    large, fine houses, with no one living in them.
