Isaiah 5:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Judah’s Sins Denounced

8 Woe to those who add house to house(A)
and join field to field
until there is no more room
and you alone are left in the land.

9 I heard the Lord of Hosts say:

Indeed, many houses(B) will become desolate,
grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.
10 For a ten-acre[a] vineyard will yield
only six gallons,[b]
and 10 bushels[c] of seed will yield
only one bushel.[d]

Woes on the Wicked

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

9 Yahweh of hosts said in my ears:

Surely[c] many houses shall become a desolation,
    large and beautiful ones without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,[d]
and the seed of a homer will yield an ephah.[e]

New International Version

Woes and Judgments

8 Woe(A) to you who add house to house
    and join field to field(B)
till no space is left
    and you live alone in the land.

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(E)
    the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
    a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(F)
