Isaiah 5:6-8
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
6 And I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned or cultivated, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant planting [the plant of His delight]. And He looked for justice, but behold, [He saw] oppression and bloodshed; [He looked] for righteousness (for uprightness and right standing with God), but behold, [He heard] a cry [of oppression and distress]!
8 Woe to those who join house to house [and by violently expelling the poorer occupants enclose large acreage] and join field to field until there is no place for others and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

New International Version
6 I will make it a wasteland,(A)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(B) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(C) on it.”
7 The vineyard(D) of the Lord Almighty
is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,(E) but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,(F) but heard cries of distress.(G)
