Isaiah 5:8-10

Woe to the Wicked

8 Woe to those who ^ajoin house to house,
who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
and you are made to dwell alone
in the midst of the land.
9 The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
^b“Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
10 ^cFor ten acres ^{▼▼Hebrew ten yoke, the area ten yoke of oxen can plow in a day} of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a ^ehomer of seed shall yield but an ephah.” ^{▼▼A bath was about 6 gallons or 22 liters; a homer was about 6 bushels or 220 liters; an ephah was about 3/5 bushel or 22 liters}
