Judgment for Injustice

Woe to those who join house to house
and merge field to field,
    until there is no room,
and you will live alone
    in the midst of the land!

In my ears, Adonai-Tzva’ot has said:
“Surely many houses will be desolate—
    even grand and fine ones—
with no occupants.”
10 Ten acres of vineyard
    will yield six gallons,
and an omer of seed
    will yield one ephah.[a]

Woes and Judgments

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.

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)
