Isaiah 5:6-8
English Standard Version Anglicised
Isaiah 5:6-8
English Standard Version Anglicised
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.
