Isaiah 5:8 BBE

⁶  And I will make it waste; its branches will not be touched with the knife, or the earth worked with the spade; but blackberries and thorns will come up in it: and I will give orders to the clouds not to send rain on it.

⁷  For the vine-garden of the Lord of armies is the people of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he was looking for upright judging, and there was blood; for righteousness, and there was a cry for help.

⁸  Cursed are those who are joining house to house, and putting field to field, till there is no more living-space for any but themselves in all the land!

⁹  The Lord of armies has said to me secretly, Truly, numbers of great and fair houses will be waste, with no one living in them.

¹⁰  For ten fields of vines will only give one measure of wine, and a great amount of seed will only give a small measure of grain.
