Were we warned?

[OldWiseGuy]

Isaiah 5:8
"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!"

 

[Norbert L]

It does make you think what a godly Earth would look like with billions of people here. Unless the scripture is talking about and directed towards slum lords specifically.

It almost suggests home ownership, with a big yard.

In what way is that a warning to the nations, that can be said to be more relevant than the warning that is in tbe 10 commandments?

The commandments don't directly address overcrowding.

You could make a connection. Many births are the result of sexual immorality (adultery, fornication). This can lead to overcrowding especially in poor communities. All sorts of problems ensue from that.
