Isaiah 5:8-10

Woes for the Wicked
8 Woe to those who (A)attach house to house and join field to field,
Until there is no more room,
And you alone are a landowner in the midst of the land!
9 In my ears the Lord of armies has sworn, “(B)Many houses shall certainly become (C)desolate,
Even great and fine ones, without occupants.
10 For (D)ten acres of vineyard will yield only one [a]bath of wine,
And a [b](E)homer of seed will yield only an [c]ephah of grain.”
