Isaiah 5:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶I will ruin my field.
    It will not be trimmed or hoed.
    Weeds and thorns will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain on it.”

⁷The vineyard belonging to the Lord of heaven’s armies
    is the nation of Israel.
The garden that the Lord loves
    is the men of Judah.
The Lord looked for justice, but there was only killing.
    The Lord hoped for right living, but there were only cries of pain.

⁸How terrible it will be for you who add more houses to your houses
and more fields to your fields.
Finally there is no room left for other people.
Then you are left alone in the land.
