Isaiah 5:8-10

International Standard Version

Judgment on Land Barons

⁸“How terrible it will be for you who join house to house,
    who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
    and you have settled yourselves alone^[a]
        in the middle of the land!”

⁹The Lord of the Heavenly Armies has declared this so I could hear it:

“Surely many houses will become desolate,
    great and beautiful houses,
        without occupants.
¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard will produce only one bath,^[b]
    and one omer^[c] of seed^[d] will produce only one ephah.”^[e]
