Isaiah 5:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised
7 (A)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed;[a]
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry![b]
Woe to the Wicked
8 Woe to those who (B)join house to house,
who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
and you are made to dwell alone
in the midst of the land.
9 The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
(C)“Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
