[1]Now will I singH7891[H8799] to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121[H8081] hillH7161:
[2]And he fencedH5823[H8762] it, and gathered out the stonesH5619[H8762] thereof, and plantedH5193[H8799] it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129[H8799] a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672[H8804] a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960[H8762] that it should bring forthH6213[H8800] grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213[H8799] wild grapesH891.
[3]And now, O inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199[H8798], I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
[4]What could have been doneH6213[H8800] more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213[H8804] in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960[H8765] that it should bring forthH6213[H8800] grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213[H8799] wild grapesH891?
[5]And now go to; I will tellH3045[H8686] you what I will doH6213[H8802] to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493[H8687] the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197[H8763]; and break downH6555[H8800] the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823:
[6]And I will layH7896[H8799] it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168[H8735], nor diggedH5737[H8735]; but there shall come upH5927[H8804] briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680[H8762] the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305[H8687] no rain upon itH4306.
[7]For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960[H8762] for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818.
[8]WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060[H8688] houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126[H8686] fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427[H8717] alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776!
[9]In mine earsH241 said the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427.[H8802]
[10]YeaH3588, tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213[H8799] oneH259 bathH1324, and the seedH2233 of an homerH2563 shall yieldH6213[H8799] an ephahH374.
[11]WoeH1945 unto them that rise up earlyH7925[H8688] in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291[H8799] strong drinkH7941; that continueH309[H8764] until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 themH8686!
[12]And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027[H8686] not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200[H8804] the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.
[13]Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540[H8804], because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772.
[14]Therefore hellH7585 hath enlargedH7337[H8689] herselfH5315, and openedH6473[H8804] her mouthH6310 without measureH2706: and their gloryH1926, and their multitudeH1995, and their pompH7588, and he that rejoicethH5938, shall descendH3381 into itH8804.
[15]And the mean manH120 shall be brought downH7817[H8735], and the mighty manH376 shall be humbledH8213[H8799], and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 shall be humbledH8213:[H8799]
[16]But the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361[H8799] in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942[H8738] in righteousnessH6666.
[17]Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH7462[H8804] after their mannerH1699, and the waste placesH2723 of the fat onesH4220 shall strangersH1481[H8802] eatH398.[H8799]
[18]WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900[H8802] iniquityH5771 with cordsH2256 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 ropeH5688:
[19]That sayH559[H8802], Let him make speedH4116[H8762], and hastenH2363[H8686] his workH4639, that we may seeH7200[H8799] it: and let the counselH6098 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 draw nighH7126[H8799] and comeH935[H8799], that we may knowH3045 itH8799!
[20]WoeH1945 unto them that callH559[H8802] evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; that putH7760[H8802] darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; that putH7760[H8802] bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!
[21]WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudentH995[H8737] in their own sightH6440!
[22]WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354[H8800] wineH3196, and menH582 of strengthH2428 to mingleH4537[H8800] strong drinkH7941:
[23]Which justifyH6663[H8688] the wickedH7563 forH6118 rewardH7810, and take awayH5493[H8686] the righteousnessH6666 of the righteous from himH6662!
[24]Therefore as the fireH784 devourethH398[H8800] the stubbleH7179, and the flameH3956[H3852] consumethH7503[H8799] the chaffH2842, so their rootH8328 shall be as rottennessH4716, and their blossomH6525 shall go upH5927[H8799] as dustH80: because they have cast awayH3988[H8804] the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and despisedH5006[H8765] the wordH565 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
[25]Therefore is the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734[H8804] against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretched forthH5186[H8799] his handH3027 against them, and hath smittenH5221[H8686] them: and the hillsH2022 did trembleH7264[H8799], and their carcasesH5038 were tornH5478 in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725[H8804], but his handH3027 is stretched outH5186 stillH8803.
[26]And he will lift upH5375[H8804] an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319[H8804] unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935[H8799] with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031:
[27]None shall be wearyH5889 nor stumbleH3782[H8802] among them; none shall slumberH5123[H8799] nor sleepH3462[H8799]; neither shall the girdleH232 of their loinsH2504 be loosedH6605[H8738], nor the latchetH8288 of their shoesH5275 be brokenH5423:[H8738]
[28]Whose arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150[H8802], and all their bowsH7198 bentH1869[H8803], their horses'H5483 hoofsH6541 shall be countedH2803[H8738] like flintH6862, and their wheelsH1534 like a whirlwindH5492:
[29]Their roaringH7581 shall be like a lionH3833, they shall roarH7580[H8799][H8675][H7580][H8804] like young lionsH3715: yea, they shall roarH5098[H8799], and lay holdH270[H8799] of the preyH2964, and shall carry it away safeH6403[H8686], and none shall deliverH5337 itH8688.
[30]And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098[H8799] against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027[H8765] unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821[H8804] in the heavens thereofH6183.
