Isaiah 5:7-9
Names of God Bible
7 The vineyard of Yahweh Tsebaoth is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah are the garden of his delight.
He hoped for justice but saw only slaughter,
for righteousness but heard only cries of distress.
Six Sins Condemned
8 How horrible it will be for you
who acquire house after house and buy field after field
until there’s nothing left
and you have to live by yourself in the land.
9 With my own ears I heard Yahweh Tsebaoth say,
“Many houses will become empty.
Large, beautiful houses will be without people to live in them.
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.
