Isaiah 5:8-10
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 Armies 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 of wine,[b]
and ten bushels[c] of seed will yield
only one bushel of grain.[d]

Isaiah 5:8-10
New Living Translation

Judah’s Guilt and Judgment

8 What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field,
    until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land.
9 But I have heard the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
    swear a solemn oath:
“Many houses will stand deserted;
    even beautiful mansions will be empty.
10 Ten acres[a] of vineyard will not produce even six gallons[b] of wine.
    Ten baskets of seed will yield only one basket[c] of grain.”
