Isaiah 5:8-10
Modern English Version

Woes and Judgment

8 Woe to those who join house to house,
    who add field to field,
until there is no more space
    where they may live alone in the midst of the land!

9 In my ears the Lord of Hosts said:

Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
    even great and beautiful, without inhabitants.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,[a]
    and the homer[b] of seed shall yield an ephah.[c]
