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]

Isaiah 5:8-10
New International Version

Woes and Judgments

8 Woe(A) to you who add house to house
    and join field to field(B)
till no space is left
    and you live alone in the land.

9 The Lord Almighty(C) has declared in my hearing:(D)

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(E)
    the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
    a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(F)
