Isaiah 5:6-8
New International Version
Isaiah 5:6-8
New International Version
6 I will make it a wasteland,(A)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(B) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(C) on it.”
7 The vineyard(D) of the Lord Almighty
is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,(E) but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,(F) but heard cries of distress.(G)
Woes and Judgments

King James Version
Isaiah 5:6-8
King James Version
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

6 I will lay it (A)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [a]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (B)thorns.

That they rain no rain on it.”

And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.

For righteousness, but behold, [b]a cry for help.

8 Woe to those who [c]join (C)house to house;
They add field to field,
Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
