Wo to you that ioynen hows to hous,
and couplen feeld to feeld, ’til to the ende of place.
Whether ye aloone schulen dwelle in the myddis of the lond?
These thingis ben in the eeris of me, the Lord of oostis;
if many housis ben not forsakun,
grete housis and faire, with outen dwellere, bileue ye not to me.
For whi ten acris of vynes schulen make a potel,
and thretti buschels of seed schulen make thre buschels.
Wo to you that ioyne one house to another,
and bringe one londe so nigh vnto another, till ye can get no more grounde.
Wil ye dwell vpon the earth alone?
The LORDE of hoostes rowneth me thus i myne eare:
shal not many greater and more gorgions houses be so waist,
that no man shall dwell in the?
And ten akers of vynes shal geue but a Quarte,
and xxx. bushels of sede shal geue but thre.
Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house,
and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place,
that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth.
This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes.
Surely many houses shall be desolate,
euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath,
and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
Wo vnto them that ioyne one house to another,
and bring one lande so nigh vnto another, that there is no more place:
Wyll ye be placed alone in the myddest of the earth
These thynges are in the eares of the Lorde of hoastes:
of a trueth great and faire houses
shalbe without any dweller in them
And tenne acres of vines shall geue but a quart,
and thirtie busshels of seede shall geue but an Epha
Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house,
that lay field to field, till there be no place,
that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth.
In mine eares said the Lord of hostes,
Of a trueth many houses shall be desolate,
euen great and faire without inhabitant.
Yea ten acres of vineyard shall yeeld one Bath,
and the seed of an Homer shall yeeld an Ephah.
Woe unto them that join house to house,
that lay field to field, till there be no room,
and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
In mine ears saith the LORD of hosts,
Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,
even great and fair, without inhabitant.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.
Woe unto them that join house to house,
that lay field to field, till there be no room,
and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!
In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts,
Of a truth many houses shall be desolate,
even great and fair, without inhabitant.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield [but] an ephah.
Woe to you who add house to house
and join field to field till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
The Lord Almighty has declared in my hearing:
“Surely the great houses will become desolate,
the fine mansions left without occupants.
A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine;
a homer of seed will yield only an ephah of grain.”
Ah, you who join house to house,
who add field to field, until there is room for no one but you,
and you are left to live alone in the midst of the land!
The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield a mere ephah.
Woe to those who join house to house,
who add field to field, until there is no more room,
and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
The Lord of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
“Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.”
Woe to those who add house to house
and join field to field until there is no more room
and you alone are left in the land.
I heard the Lord of Armies say:
Indeed, many houses will become desolate,
grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.
For a ten-acre vineyard will yield only six gallons of wine,
and ten bushels of seed will yield only one bushel of grain.
Beware, those who accumulate houses,
who also accumulate field after field 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.”
