Isaiah 5:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ I’ll turn it into a ruin;
    it won’t be pruned or hoed,
    and thorns and thistles will grow up.
I will command the clouds not to rain on it.
⁷ The vineyard of the Lord of heavenly forces is the house of Israel,
    and the people of Judah are the plantings in which God delighted.
God expected justice, but there was bloodshed;
    righteousness, but there was a cry of distress!

⁸ Doom to those who acquire house after house,
    who annex field to field until there is no more space left
    and only you live alone in the land.
