Isaiah 5:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
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!
9 In mine ears said the Lord of hosts,
Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,
even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Isaiah 5:7-9
New International Version
7 The vineyard(A) 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,(B) but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,(C) but heard cries of distress.(D)
Woes and Judgments
8 Woe(E) to you who add house to house
and join field to field(F)
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
9 The Lord Almighty(G) has declared in my hearing:(H)
“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(I)
the fine mansions left without occupants.
