From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

A protest against the grasping covetousnessIsaiah 5:8which is regardless of the rights of the poor upon whose inheritance men encroach (compare the margin reference). The not uncommon reference of the words to the “landmarks” of thought or custom, however, natural and legitimate, is foreign to the mind of the writer.
