Isaiah 5:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
In context
6 I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.
8 Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
9 I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
10 For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
