Isaiah 5:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ The vineyard belonging to the Lord of heaven’s armies
    is the nation of Israel.
The garden that the Lord loves
    is the men of Judah.
The Lord looked for justice, but there was only killing.
    The Lord hoped for right living, but there were only cries of pain.

⁸ How terrible it will be for you who add more houses to your houses
    and more fields to your fields.
Finally there is no room left for other people.
    Then you are left alone in the land.

“The fine houses will be destroyed.
    The large and beautiful houses will be left empty.
