Isaiah 5:6-8
English Standard Version
6 I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and (A)briers and thorns shall grow up;
(B)I will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
7 (C)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed;[a]
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry![b]
Woe to the Wicked
8 Woe to those who (D)join house to house,
who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
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

for righteousness,(F) but heard cries of distress.(G)
