Isaiah 5:7-9
Lexham English Bible

7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of hosts is the house of Israel,
    and the man[a] of Judah is the plantation of his delight.
And he waited for justice,[b]
    but look! Bloodshed![c]
For righteousness,[d]
    but look! A cry of distress![e]

Woes on the Wicked

8 Ah! Those who join[f] house with house,
    they join field together with field
until there is no place[g]
    and you are caused to dwell alone in the midst of the land.

9 Yahweh of hosts said in my ears:

Surely[h] many houses shall become a desolation,
    large and beautiful ones without inhabitant.
