Isaiah 5:7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 I am the Lord All-Powerful!
    Israel is the vineyard,
and Judah is the garden
    I tended with care.
I had hoped for honesty
    and for justice,
but dishonesty
and cries for mercy
    were all I found.

Isaiah Condemns Social Injustice

8 You are in for trouble! You take over house after house and field after field, until there is no room left for anyone else in all the land. 9 But the Lord All-Powerful has made this promise to me:

Those large and beautiful homes will be left empty, with no one to take care of them.
