Isaiah 5:1
|
|
Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my
beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful
hill: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:2 |
|
and 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. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:3 |
|
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men
of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:4 |
|
What 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? |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:5 |
|
And 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: |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:6 |
|
and 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. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:7 |
|
For 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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:8 |
|
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! |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:9 |
|
In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth
many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:10 |
|
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:11 |
|
Woe 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! |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:12 |
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:13 |
|
Therefore my people are gone into captivity
for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude
are parched with thirst. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:14 |
|
Therefore 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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:15 |
|
And the mean man is bowed down, and the great
man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:16 |
|
but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice,
and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:17 |
|
Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture,
and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:18 |
|
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords
of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:19 |
|
that 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! |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:20 |
|
Woe 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! |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 5:21 |
|
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes,
and prudent in their own sight! |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:22 |
|
Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine,
and men of strength to mingle strong drink; |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:23 |
|
that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take
away the righteousness of the righteous from him! |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:24 |
|
Therefore 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.
|
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:25 |
|
Therefore 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:26 |
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:27 |
|
None 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: |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:28 |
|
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent;
their horses' hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind:
|
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:29 |
|
their 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 5:30 |
|
And 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. |
