"The LORD of Heaven’s Armies told me this:“Many houses will certainly become desolate, large, impressive houses will have no one living in them."
— Isaiah 5:9, NET Bible
“In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.”
“In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. ”
“In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: "Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.”
“These things are in my ears, saith the Lord of hosts: Unless many great and fair houses shall become desolate, without an inhabitant.”
“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.”
“In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.”
I will make it a wasteland; no one will prune its vines or hoe its ground, and thorns and briers will grow there. I will order the clouds not to drop any rain on it.
Indeed Israel is the vineyard of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the people of Judah are the cultivated place in which he took delight. He waited for justice, but look what he got– disobedience! He waited for fairness, but look what he got– cries for help!
Disaster is Coming Beware, those who accumulate houses, who also accumulate landed property until there is no land left, and you are the only landowners remaining within the land.
The LORD of Heaven’s Armies told me this:“Many houses will certainly become desolate, large, impressive houses will have no one living in them.
Indeed, a large vineyard will produce just a few gallons, and enough seed to yield several bushels will produce less than a bushel.”
Beware, those who get up early to drink beer, those who keep drinking long after dark until they are intoxicated with wine.
They have stringed instruments, tambourines, flutes, and wine at their parties. So they do not recognize what the LORD is doing, they do not perceive what he is bringing about.
