Isaiah 5:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 Yes, the vineyard of the Lord of Armies is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah are the planting that was pleasing to him.
He expected justice, but instead there was oppression.
He expected righteousness, but there was an outcry.
Woe to the Wicked
8 Woe to you[a] who join house to house,
who connect field to field, until there is no room left,
except room for you alone to live in the middle of the land!
9 The Lord of Armies announces this in my hearing:
I swear that many houses will be deserted.
Even the large and beautiful houses will be unoccupied.

for righteousness,(C) but heard cries of distress.(D)
Woes and Judgments
8 Woe(E) to you who add house to house
and join field to field(F)
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(I)
the fine mansions left without occupants.
