Today's housing crisis & the greedy rich!!!

Isa 5:8 Woe to those who add house to house {and} join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!

Isa 5:9 In my ears the LORD of hosts {has sworn,} "Surely, many houses shall become desolate, {Even} great and fine ones, without occupants.

Isa 5:10 "For ten acres of vineyard will yield {only} one bath {of wine,} And a homer of seed will yield {but} an ephah of grain."

Isa 5:11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink, Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

Isa 5:12 Their banquets are {accompanied} by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine; But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the LORD, Nor do they consider the work of His hands.



This reminds of today when builders are grabbing land and building homes and high rises like crazy. The laws of the land have made it so the city can grab your land and use for higher tax potential. Albeit the verses tie into Israel, but they tie into our issues today in a scary way!!!
