Woes for the Wicked

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!
In my ears the Lord of armies has sworn, “(B)Many houses shall certainly become (C)desolate,
Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

And a [b](E)homer of seed will yield only an [c]ephah of grain.”
