Isaiah 5:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, and lay field to field, till there be no [a]place, that ye may be placed by yourselves in the midst of the earth.
9 This is in mine [b]ears, saith the Lord of hosts. Surely many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vines shall yield one [c]bath, and the seed of an [d]homer shall yield an [e]ephah.
