Stealing Land
Isaiah says woe to those who steal the land of others. The number points at the classic story of this behavior in First Kings.
Isaiah 5:8-10
Woe 1|6 8Woe to those who trespass the boundaries between houses, who remove the landmarks between the fields to steal the land that they may live alone in the middle of the land.
Isaiah 5:89In my ears, said the Master of hosts: of a truth it has been heard that many houses will be desolate, because there will not be anyone to live in them.
10For 10 acres of vineyard will yield but 1 bath and a homer of seed will yield but an ephah. Isaiah 5:9-10 (Isaiah 5:8-10 BRB)
