Isaiah 5:7 in Context — Isaiah 5

5 Por isso agora eu vos farei saber o que farei à minha vinha: tirarei sua cerca, para que sirva de pastagem; derrubarei seu muro, para que seja pisada;

6 E eu a tornarei uma [terra] abandonada; não será podada, nem cavada; mas crescerão [nela] cardos e espinhos; e darei ordens às nuvens, para que não chovam chuva sobre ela.

7 Porque a vinha do SENHOR dos exércitos é a casa de Israel, e os homens de Judá são suas plantas agradáveis; porém ele esperava juízo, e eis aqui opressão; [ele esperava] justiça, e eis aqui clamor.

8 Ai dos que juntam uma casas, [e] acumulam propriedades de terra, até que não tenha sobrado mais lugar, para que somente vós fiqueis como moradores no meio da terra.

9 O SENHOR dos exércitos [disse] aos meus ouvidos: Verdadeiramente muitas casas se tornarão desertas, [até] as grandes e valiosas ficarão sem moradores!
