Isaiah 5:8-10

Isaiah 5:8-10
New International Version - UK
Woes and judgments
8 Woe to you who add house to house
and join field to field
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
9 The Lord Almighty has declared in my hearing:
‘Surely the great houses will become desolate,
the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre[a] vineyard will produce only a bath[b] of wine;
a homer[c] of seed will yield only an ephah[d] of grain.’
