13 Isaiah 5:1

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: ²And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. ³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. ⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? ⁵And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: ⁶And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

⁸Woe 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! ⁹In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. ¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! ¹²And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. ¹⁵And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: ¹⁶But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. ¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. ¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: ¹⁹That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: ²³Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! ²⁴Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: ²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: ²⁸Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: ²⁹Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. ³⁰And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.(KJV)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: ²And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. ³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. ⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? ⁵And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: ⁶And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

⁸Woe 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! ⁹In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. ¹⁰Yea, 10 acres of vineyard shall yield 1 bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! ¹²And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. ¹⁵And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: ¹⁶But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. ¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat 1s shall strangers eat. ¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: ¹⁹That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy 1 of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: ²³Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! ²⁴Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy 1 of Israel. ²⁵Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly: ²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: ²⁸Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: ²⁹Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it. ³⁰And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.(KJV/NC)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: ²and he digged it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. ³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. ⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? ⁵And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: ⁶and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry. ⁸Woe 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! ⁹In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. ¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah. ¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them! ¹²And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands. ¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore Sheol hath enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend into it. ¹⁵And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled: ¹⁶but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness. ¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat. ¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope; ¹⁹that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! ²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink; ²³that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! ²⁴Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. ²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. ²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken: ²⁸whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind: ²⁹their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver. ³⁰And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.(ASV)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹NOW I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on the corner of a fertile land; ²He cultivated it and fenced it and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a watchtower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress in it; and he expected that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. ³And now, O men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, judge between me and my vineyard. ⁴What more could have been done to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I expected that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes. ⁵And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard; I will demolish its tower, and it shall be for spoil; and break down its fence, and it shall be trodden down; ⁶And I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall spring up in it briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant; and I looked for justice, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

⁸¶ Woe to those who trespass the boundaries between houses, who remove the landmarks between the fields, to steal the land, that they may dwell alone in the midst of the earth! ⁹In my ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth, it has been heard, that many houses shall be desolate, because there will be no one to dwell in them. ¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah. ¹¹Woe to them who rise up early in the morning, and run after strong drink; that continue drinking until night, till wine inflames them! ¹²They drink wine while listening to the harps, timbrels, tambourines, and flutes; but they do not regard the works of the LORD, neither consider the deeds of his hands. ¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their dead are multiplied because of the famine, and have been overcome with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure: and the glorious men, the honorable men, and the mighty men shall descend into it. ¹⁵And the mean man shall be humbled, and the mighty man shall be brought down, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: ¹⁶But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the Holy God shall be sanctified in righteousness. ¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed there in their usual fashion, and the waste places that shall be rebuilt shall be the property of the rightful owners.

¹⁸¶ Woe to them that spin out their iniquities like a long rope, and their sins are like a bridle on the neck of a heifer; ¹⁹Who say, Let the LORD make speed, and hasten his works, that we may see them; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it! ²⁰Woe to them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own sight! ²²Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and strong men who mix strong drink; ²³Who justify the guilty because of his bribe, and take away justice from the righteous! ²⁴Therefore as the fire devours the stubble and the flame consumes the chaff, so they shall be consumed by the flame, and their root shall be as dust; and their blossom shall go up like chaff, because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts and despised the command of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them: and the mountains trembled; and their carcasses were like mud in the streets. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. ²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar and will whistle to them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come swiftly with speed. ²⁷They shall not be weary nor stumble, they shall not slumber nor sleep, neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the lace of their shoes be broken; ²⁸Their arrows are sharp and their bows are bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. ²⁹Their roaring shall be like a lion, and like the young lions that roar, and take hold on the prey and carry it off; and none shall deliver it. ³⁰And in that day he shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea; and if they look to the land, behold, there shall be darkness and distress, and the light shall be darkened with thick darkness. (LAM)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹Let me sing for my beloved a love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. ²He digged it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

³And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. ⁴What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?

⁵And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. ⁶I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

⁷For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry!

⁸Woe 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. ⁹The LORD of hosts has sworn in my hearing: "Surely many houses shall be desolate, large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant. ¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah."

¹¹Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening till wine inflames them! ¹²They have lyre and harp, timbrel and flute and wine at their feasts; but they do not regard the deeds of the LORD, or see the work of his hands.

¹³Therefore my people go into exile for want of knowledge; their honored men are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure, and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude go down, her throng and he who exults in her. ¹⁵Man is bowed down, and men are brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humbled. ¹⁶But the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness. ¹⁷Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture, fatlings and kids shall feed among the ruins.

¹⁸Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes, ¹⁹who say: "Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it!" ²⁰Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! ²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight! ²²Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, ²³who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!

²⁴Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.

²⁶He will raise a signal for a nation afar off, and whistle for it from the ends of the earth; and lo, swiftly, speedily it comes! ²⁷None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps, not a waistcloth is loose, not a sandal-thong broken; ²⁸their arrows are sharp, all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind. ²⁹Their roaring is like a lion, like young lions they roar; they growl and seize their prey, they carry it off, and none can rescue. ³⁰They will growl over it on that day, like the roaring of the sea. And if one look to the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by its clouds.(RSV)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. ²He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit. ³"Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. ⁴What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad? ⁵Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. ⁶I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it." ⁷The vineyard of the LORD Almighty is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the garden of his delight. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress. ⁸Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land.

⁹The LORD Almighty has declared in my hearing: "Surely the great houses will become desolate, the fine mansions left without occupants. ¹⁰A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine, a homer of seed only an ephah of grain." ¹¹Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine. ¹²They have harps and lyres at their banquets, tambourines and flutes and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD, no respect for the work of his hands. ¹³Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding; their men of rank will die of hunger and their masses will be parched with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers. ¹⁵So man will be brought low and mankind humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled. ¹⁶But the LORD Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will show himself holy by his righteousness. ¹⁷Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture; lambs will feed among the ruins of the rich. ¹⁸Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit, and wickedness as with cart ropes, ¹⁹to those who say, "Let God hurry, let him hasten his work so we may see it. Let it approach, let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come, so we may know it." ²⁰Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. ²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. ²²Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, ²³who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. ²⁴Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore the LORD's anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. ²⁶He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Here they come, swiftly and speedily! ²⁷Not one of them grows tired or stumbles, not one slumbers or sleeps; not a belt is loosened at the waist, not a sandal thong is broken. ²⁸Their arrows are sharp, all their bows are strung; their horses' hoofs seem like flint, their chariot wheels like a whirlwind. ²⁹Their roar is like that of the lion, they roar like young lions; they growl as they seize their prey and carry it off with no one to rescue. ³⁰In that day they will roar over it like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks at the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be darkened by the clouds.(NIV)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard.
My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

²He dug it up,
Gathered out its stones,
Planted it with the choicest vine,
Built a tower in its midst,
And also cut out a winepress therein.

He looked for it to yield grapes,
But it yielded wild grapes.

³'Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
Please judge between me and my vineyard.

⁴What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?

⁵Now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard.
I will take away its hedge, and it will be eaten up.
I will break down its wall of it, and it will be trampled down.

⁶I will lay it a wasteland.
It won't be pruned nor hoed,
But it will grow briers and thorns.
I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.'

⁷For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah his pleasant plant:
And he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.

⁸Woe to those who join house to house,
Who lay field to field, until there is no room,
And you_P are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

⁹In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: 'Surely many houses will be desolate,
Even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

¹⁰For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,
And a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.'

¹¹Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink;
Who stay late into the night, until wine inflames them!

¹²The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts;
But they don't regard the work of Yahweh,
Neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

¹³Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitudes are parched with thirst.

¹⁴Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire,
And opened its mouth without measure;
And their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices among them, descend into it.

¹⁵So man is brought low,
Mankind is humbled,
And the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;

¹⁶But Yahweh of Armies is exalted in justice,
And God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.

¹⁷Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture,
And strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

¹⁸Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood,
And wickedness as with cart rope;

¹⁹Who say, 'Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know it!'

²⁰Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light,
And light for darkness;

Who put bitter for sweet,
And sweet for bitter!

²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!

²²Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine,
And champions at mixing strong drink;

²³Who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
But deny justice for the innocent!

²⁴Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
And as the dry grass sinks down in the flame,
So their root shall be as rottenness,
And their blossom shall go up as dust;

Because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

²⁵Therefore Yahweh's anger burns against his people,
And he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them.

The mountains tremble,
And their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets.

For all this, his anger is not turned away,
But his hand is still stretched out.

²⁶He will lift up a banner to the nations from far,
And he will whistle for them from the end of the earth.
Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.

²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them;
None shall slumber nor sleep;
Neither shall the belt of their waist be untied,
Nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

²⁸Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent.

Their horses' hoofs will be like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.

²⁹Their roaring will be like a lioness.
They will roar like young lions.

Yes, they shall roar,
And seize their prey and carry it off,
And there will be no one to deliver.

³⁰They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress.
The light is darkened in its clouds.(WEB)

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard.
My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

²He dug it up,
gathered out its stones,
planted it with the choicest vine,
built a tower in its midst,
and also cut out a winepress therein.

He looked for it to yield grapes,

⁹In my ears, the LORD of Hosts says: 'Surely many houses will be desolate,
even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

13 Isaiah 5:1-30 ¹NOW I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on the corner of a fertile land; ²He cultivated it and fenced it and planted it with the choicest vines, and built a watchtower in the middle of it, and also made a winepress in it; and he expected that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes. ³And now, oh men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, judge between me and my vineyard. ⁴What more could have been done to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Therefore, when I expected that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes. ⁵And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard; I will demolish its tower, and it will be for spoil; and break down its fence, and it will be trampled down; ⁶And I will lay it waste; it will not be pruned, nor dug; but there will spring up in it briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it. ⁷For the vineyard of Yahvah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant; and I looked for justice, but look, oppression; for righteousness, but look, a cry.

⁸Woe to those who trespass the boundaries between houses, who remove the landmarks between the fields, to steal the land, that they may live alone in the middle of the earth. ⁹In my ears said Yahvah of hosts, Of a truth, it has been heard, that many houses will be desolate, because there will be no one to live in them. ¹⁰For 10 acres of vineyard will yield but one bath, and a homer of seed will yield but an ephah.

¹¹Woe to those who rise up early in the morning, and run after strong drink; that continue drinking until night, until wine inflames them. ¹²They drink wine while listening to the harps, timbrels, tambourines, and flutes; but they do not regard the works of Yahvah, nor consider the deeds of his hands.

¹³Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; and their dead are multiplied because of the famine, and have been overcome with thirst. ¹⁴Therefore, Sheol has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure; and the glorious men, the honorable men, and the mighty men will descend into it. ¹⁵And the mean man will be humbled, and the mighty man will be brought down, and the eyes of the lofty will be humbled; ¹⁶But Yahvah of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the Holy God will be sanctified in righteousness. ¹⁷Then the lambs will feed there in their usual fashion, and the waste places that will be rebuilt will be the property of the rightful owners. ¹⁸Woe to those who spin out their iniquities like a long rope, and their sins are like a bridle on the neck of a heifer; ¹⁹Who say, Let Yahvah make speed, and hurry his works, that we may see them; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it.

²⁰Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. ²¹Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own sight. ²²Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and strong men who mix strong drink; ²³Who justify the guilty because of his bribe, and take away justice from the righteous. ²⁴Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble and the flame consumes the chaff, so they will be consumed by the flame, and their root will be as dust; and their blossom will go up like chaff, because they have rejected the law of Yahvah of hosts and despised the command of the Holy One of Israel. ²⁵Therefore, the anger of Yahvah is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has struck them, and the mountains trembled; and their carcasses were like mud in the streets. For all this, his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.

²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far away and will whistle to them from the end of the earth; and look, they will come swiftly with speed. ²⁷They will not be weary nor stumble, they will not slumber nor sleep, nor will the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the lace of their shoes be broken; ²⁸Their arrows are sharp and their bows are bent, their horses' hoofs will be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. ²⁹Their roaring will be like a lion, and like the young lions that roar, and take hold on the prey and carry it off; and no one will deliver it. ³⁰And in that day he will roar against them like the roaring of the sea; and if they look to the land, look, there will be darkness and distress, and the light will be darkened with thick darkness.
