Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field, Till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!

祸哉！那些以房接房，以地连地，以致不留余地的，只顾自己独居境内。

祸哉！你们以房接房，以地连地，以致不留余地，只顾自己独居境内。

祸哉！你们以房接房，以地连地，以致不留余地，只顾自己独居境内。

那些不断建房置田、占光土地、独居其中的人有祸了！

那些使房屋连接房屋，使田地连接田地，以致不留余地的人，有祸了！你们只可以独居在境内。

祸哉！你们这样的人！你们使房屋连着房屋，田地接着田地，以致没有多余的空间，好独自居住在那地当中。

禍哉！那些以房接房，以地連地，以致不留餘地的，只顧自己獨居境內。

禍哉！你們以房接房，以地連地，以致不留餘地，只顧自己獨居境內。

禍哉！你們以房接房，以地連地，以致不留餘地，只顧自己獨居境內。

那些不斷建房置田、佔光土地、獨居其中的人有禍了！

那些使房屋連接房屋，使田地連接田地，以致不留餘地的人，有禍了！你們只可以獨居在境內。

有禍啊！那些使房屋連接房屋，使田地毗連田地，以致不留餘地，而你們只好獨居境內！

禍哉！你們這樣的人！你們使房屋連著房屋，田地接著田地，以致沒有多餘的空間，好獨自居住在那地當中。

增其第宅、廣其田疇、致無隙地、獨居於中、禍哉其人、

強據宅第、多得土田、不遺隙地、推其意、幾欲獨攬遍境、深可疾也、

禍哉、爾曹增室於室、增田於田、以致不遺隙地、爾欲獨居斯地乎、

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.

How terrible it will be for you who get too many houses! How terrible for you who get too many fields! Finally there won’t be any space left in the land. Then you will live all alone.

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.

What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field, until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land.

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.

Woe to those who attach house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, And you alone are a landowner in the midst of the land!

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!

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.

Woe unto them that join 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!

Those who accumulate houses are as good as dead, those who also accumulate landed property until there is no land left, and you are the only landowners remaining within the land.

Woe 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!

They covet fields and take them by violence, Also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, A man and his inheritance.

“ Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the power of disaster!You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul.For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the beam from the timbers will answer it.“ Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity!

“ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness And his chambers by injustice, Who uses his neighbor’s service without wages And gives him nothing for his work,Who says,‘ I will build myself a wide house with spacious chambers, And cut out windows for it, Paneling it with cedar And painting it with vermilion.’“ Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, And do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.He judged the cause of the poor and needy; Then it was well. Was not this knowing Me?” says the Lord.“ Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, For shedding innocent blood, And practicing oppression and violence.”

So it was, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,“ Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. There he is, in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.You shall speak to him, saying,‘ Thus says the Lord:“ Have you murdered and also taken possession?”’ And you shall speak to him, saying,‘ Thus says the Lord:“ In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.”’”So Ahab said to Elijah,“ Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he answered,“ I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord:

Then He spoke a parable to them, saying:“ The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.And he thought within himself, saying,‘ What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’So he said,‘ I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.And I will say to my soul,“ Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’But God said to him,‘ Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’“ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”Then He said to His disciples,“ Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

“ Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, your countrymen, and all the house of Israel in its entirety, are those about whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said,‘ Get far away from the Lord; this land has been given to us as a possession.’

“ Son of man, they who inhabit those ruins in the land of Israel are saying,‘ Abraham was only one, and he inherited the land. But we are many; the land has been given to us as a possession.’

“ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
