Isaiah 5:7 in Context — Isaiah 5

5 Os mostraré pues ahora lo que haré yo á mi viña: Quitaréle su vallado, y será para ser consumida; aportillaré su cerca, y será para ser hollada;

6 Haré que quede desierta; no será podada ni cavada, y crecerá el cardo y las espinas: y aun á las nubes mandaré que no derramen lluvia sobre ella.

7 Ciertamente la viña de Jehová de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel, y los hombres de Judá planta suya deleitosa. Esperaba juicio, y he aquí vileza; justicia, y he aquí clamor.

8 ¡Ay de los que juntan casa con casa, y allegan heredad á heredad hasta acabar el término! ¿Habitaréis vosotros solos en medio de la tierra?

9 [Ha llegado] á mis oídos de parte de Jehová de los ejércitos, que las muchas casas han de quedar asoladas, sin morador las grandes y hermosas.
