Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing please to beloved [one] my a song of beloved my of vineyard his a vineyard it belonged to beloved [one] my on a horn of a son of oil.
Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
2 And he dug it and he cleared of stones it and he planted it a choice vine and he built a tower in [the] middle of it and also a wine-vat he dug out in it and he waited to produce grapes and it produced wild grapes.
He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 And therefore O inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and everyone of Judah judge please between me and between vineyard my.
“Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What? [is] to do still for vineyard my and not I have done for it why? did I wait to produce grapes and did it produce wild grapes.
What 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?
5 And therefore let me make know please you [that] which I [am] about to do to vineyard my I will remove hedge its and it will become grazing I will break down wall its and it will become a trampling place.
Now 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, and it will be trampled down.
6 And I will make it a desolation not it will be pruned and not it will be hoed and it will grow up thorn[s] and bush[es] and to the clouds I will command from raining on it rain.
I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”
7 For [the] vineyard of Yahweh of hosts [is] [the] house of Israel and everyone of Judah [is] [the] plantation of delight his and he waited for justice and there! bloodshed for righteousness and there! an outcry.
For the vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.
8 Woe to! [those who] make touch a house a house a field on a field they bring near until there not [is] room and you are made to dwell to alone you in [the] midst of the land.
Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, until there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the middle of the land!
9 In ears my Yahweh of hosts if not houses many a waste they will become great [houses] and good [houses] from not inhabitant.
In my ears, the LORD of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.
10 For ten acres of vineyard they will produce a bath one and seed of a homer it will produce an ephah.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.”
11 Woe to! [those who] rise early in the morning strong drink they pursue [those who] delay in the twilight wine it inflames them.
Woe 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!
12 And it will be harp and lyre tambourine and flute and wine feast their and [the] deed[s] of Yahweh not they pay attention to and [the] work of hands his not they see.
The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore it will go into exile people my because not knowledge and honor its [will be] men of hunger and multitude its [will be] parched of thirst.
Therefore my people go into captivity for lack of knowledge. Their honourable men are famished, and their multitudes are parched with thirst.
14 Therefore it will enlarge Sheol throat its and it will open wide mouth its to not limit and it will go down splendor its and multitude its and uproar its and [one] exulting in it. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, their multitude, their pomp, and he who rejoices amongst them, descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 And he has been humbled everyone and he has become low everyone and [the] eyes of proud [people] they will become low.
So man is brought low, mankind is humbled, and the eyes of the arrogant ones are humbled;
16 And he was exalted Yahweh of hosts by judgment and God holy [will] show himself holy by righteousness.
but the LORD of Armies is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness.
17 And they will graze lambs like own pasture their and [the] ruins of fatlings sojourners they will eat.
Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe to! [those who] draw along iniquity with [the] cords of emptiness and like [the] rope of cart sin.
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and wickedness as with cart rope,
19 Those [who] say let it hurry - let it make haste! work his so that we may see and it may draw near and let it come! [the] plan of [the] holy [one] of Israel so we may know.
who say, “Let him make haste, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!”
20 Woe to! those [who] say of evil good and of good evil [those who] make darkness into light and light into darkness [those who] make bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter.
Woe 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!
21 Woe to! [people] wise in own eyes their and before own faces their discerning [people].
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe to! [men] mighty for drinking wine and people of ability for mixing strong drink.
Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;
23 [those who] justify a wicked [person] [the] consequence of A bribe and [the] righteousness of righteous [people] they take away from him.
who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!
24 Therefore as consumes stubble a tongue of fire and dry grass a flame it sinks down root their like rottenness it will be and blossom their like dust it will go up for they have rejected [the] law of Yahweh of hosts and [the] word of [the] holy [one] of Israel they have spurned.
Therefore 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 the LORD of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 There-fore it has burned [the] anger of Yahweh on people his and he has stretched out hand his on it and he has struck it and they have quaked the mountains and it was corpse their like offal in [the] middle of [the] streets for all this not it has turned away anger his and still hand his [is] stretched out.
Therefore the LORD’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 middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.
26 And he will lift up a standard for the nations from a distance and he will whistle for it from [the] end of the earth and there! quickly swift it will come.
He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.
27 There not [is] a weary [one] and there not [is one who] stumbles among it not anyone will slumber and not anyone will sleep and not it has been opened [the] waistband of loins its and not it has been torn apart a thong of sandals its.
No one shall be weary nor stumble amongst them; no one shall slumber nor sleep, neither shall the belt of their waist be untied, nor the strap of their sandals be broken,
28 Which arrows its [are] sharpened and all bows its [are] bent [the] hooves of horses its like flint they are regarded and wheels its like storm-wind.
whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent. Their horses’ hoofs will be like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Roaring of it [is] like lion (it will roar *Q(K)*) like young lions so it may growl and it may seize prey so it may carry [it] off and there not [is] a deliverer.
Their 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.
30 And it may growl over it in the day that like [the] growling of [the] sea and someone will look to the land and there! darkness distress and light it has become dark by clouds its.
They 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.
