ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૫:૮
પોતે દેશમાં એકલા રહેનારા થાય ત્યાં સુધી, જેઓ ઘર સાથે ઘર જોડી દે છે અને ખેતર સાથે ખેતર જોડે છે, તેમને અફસોસ!
हिन्दीयशायाह ५:८
हाय उन पर जो घर से घर, और खेत से खेत यहाँ तक मिलाते जाते हैं कि कुछ स्थान नहीं बचता, कि तुम देश के बीच अकेले रह जाओ।

In context

6I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”

7For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

8Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!

9In my ears, the LORD of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

10For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
