Isaiah 5:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel: and the man of Juda, his pleasant plant: and I looked that he should do judgment, and behold iniquity: and do justice, and behold a cry.

⁸ Woe to you that join house to house and lay field to field, even to the end of the place: shall you alone dwell in the midst of the earth?

⁹ These things are in my ears, saith the Lord of hosts: unless many great and fair houses shall become desolate, without an inhabitant.
