| [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: |
[1]Now will I sing to my beloved a song of my beloved to his vineyard, My beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill, |
| [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. |
[2]And he hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and he built a tower in the midst thereof, and made a wine press therein: then he looked that it should bring forth grapes: but it brought forth wild grapes. |
| [3]And now, O inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199[H8798], I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754. |
[3]Now therefore, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me, and my vineyard. |
| [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? |
[4]What could I have done anymore to my vineyard that I have not done unto it? Why have I looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it bringeth forth wild grapes? |
| [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: |
[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 the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: |
| [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. |
[6]And I will lay it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thorns shall grow up: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. |
| [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. |
[7]Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant plant, and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression: for righteousness, but behold a crying. |
| [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! |
[8]Woe unto them that join house to house , and lay field to field, till there be no place, that ye may be placed by yourselves in the midst of the earth. |
| [9]In mine earsH241 said the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427.[H8802] |
[9]This is in mine ears, saith the Lord of hosts. Surely many houses shall be desolate, even great, and fair without inhabitant. |
| [10]YeaH3588, tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213[H8799] oneH259 bathH1324, and the seedH2233 of an homerH2563 shall yieldH6213[H8799] an ephahH374. |
[10]For ten acres of vines shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. |
| [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! |
[11]Woe unto them, that rise up early to follow drunkenness, and to them that continue until night, till the wine do inflame them. |
| [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. |
[12]And the harp and viol, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the work of his hands. |
| [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. |
[13]Therefore my people is gone into captivity, because they had no knowledge, and the glory thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried up with thirst. |
| [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. |
[14]Therefore hell hath enlarged itself, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, shall descend into it. |
| [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] |
[15]And man shall be brought down, and man shall be humbled, even the eyes of the proud shall be humbled. |
| [16]But the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361[H8799] in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942[H8738] in righteousnessH6666. |
[16]And the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be sanctified in justice. |

[18]Woe unto them, that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin, as with cart ropes: |
| [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! |
[19]Which 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. |
| [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! |
[20]Woe unto them that speak good of evil, and evil of good, which put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for sour. |

[22]Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and to them that are strong to pour in strong drink: |
| [23]Which justifyH6663[H8688] the wickedH7563 forH6118 rewardH7810, and take awayH5493[H8686] the righteousnessH6666 of the righteous from himH6662! |
[23]Which justify the wicked for a reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him. |
| [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. |
[24]Therefore as the flame of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the chaff is consumed of the flame: so their root shall be as rottenness, and their bud shall rise up like dust, because they have cast off the law of the Lord of hosts, and contemned the word of the Holy One of Israel. |
| [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. |
[25]Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand upon them, and hath smitten them that the mountains did tremble: and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hand was stretched out still. |
| [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: |
[26]And he will lift up a sign unto the nations afar, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed. |
| [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] |
[27]None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the girdle of his loins be loosed, nor the latchet of his shoes be broken: |
| [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: |
[28]Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all his bows bent: his horse hoofs shall be thought like flint, and his wheels like a whirlwind. |
| [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. |
[29]His roaring shall be like a lion, and he shall roar like lion's whelps: they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey: they shall take it away, and none shall deliver it. |
| [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. |
[30]And in that day they shall roar upon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if they look unto the earth, behold darkness, and sorrow, and the light shall be darkened in their sky. |
