Isaiah 5:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷For the vineyard of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
    is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
    are the garden in which he delights.^[a]
He looked for justice,
    but saw only bloodshed;
he searched^[b] for righteousness,
    but heard only an outcry!

Judgment on Land Barons

⁸“How terrible it will be for you who join house to house,
    who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
    and you have settled yourselves alone^[c]
        in the middle of the land!”

⁹The Lord of the Heavenly Armies has declared this so I could hear it:

“Surely many houses will become desolate,
great and beautiful houses,
without occupants.
