Isaiah 5:7-9

7The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the vines he delighted in. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.

9The Lord Almighty has declared in my hearing: “Surely the great houses will become desolate, the fine mansions left without occupants.
