“I 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.””

Reading this verse in context

This page shows one verse on its own, which is rarely how it was written. Isaiah 5 contains 30 verses, and the sentences either side usually decide what this one means. Read the whole chapter before you quote it.
