Isaiah 5

1 to sing please to/for beloved my song beloved: love my to/for vineyard his vineyard to be to/for beloved my in/on/with horn son: type of oil

I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.

2 and to dig about him and to stone him and to plant him vine and to build tower in/on/with midst his and also wine to hew in/on/with him and to await to/for to make: do grape and to make: do sour grapes

He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!

3 and now to dwell Jerusalem and man: anyone Judah to judge please between me and between vineyard my

“And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.

4 what? to/for to make: do still to/for vineyard my and not to make: do in/on/with him why? to await to/for to make grape and to make sour grapes

What more could I have done for My vineyard than I already did for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?

5 and now to know please [obj] you [obj] which I to make: do to/for vineyard my to turn aside: remove hedge his and to be to/for to burn: destroy to break through wall his and to be to/for trampling

Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.

6 and to set: make him waste not to prune and not to hoe and to ascend: rise thorn and thornbush and upon [the] cloud to command from to rain upon him rain

I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”

7 for vineyard LORD Hosts house: household Israel and man: anyone Judah plantation delight his and to await to/for justice and behold bloodshed to/for righteousness and behold cry

For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.

8 woe! to touch house: home in/on/with house: home land: country in/on/with land: country to present: come till end place and to dwell to/for alone you in/on/with entrails: among [the] land: country/planet

Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.

9 in/on/with ear: hearing my LORD Hosts if: surely yes not house: home many to/for horror: destroyed to be great: large and pleasant from nothing to dwell

I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.

10 for ten pair vineyard to make: do bath one and seed homer to make: do ephah

For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”

11 woe! to rise in/on/with morning strong drink to pursue to delay in/on/with twilight wine to burn/pursue them

Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.

12 and to be lyre and harp tambourine and flute and wine feast their and [obj] work LORD not to look and deed: work hand his not to see: see

At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.

13 to/for so to reveal: remove people my from without knowledge and glory his man famine and crowd his parched thirst

Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.

14 to/for so to enlarge hell: Sheol soul: appetite her and to open lip her to/for without statute: allotment and to go down glory her and crowd her and roar her and exultant in/on/with her (Sheol h7585)

Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers! (Sheol h7585)

15 and to bow man and to abase man: anyone and eye high to abase

So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.

16 and to exult LORD Hosts in/on/with justice and [the] God [the] holy to consecrate: consecate in/on/with righteousness

But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

17 and to pasture lamb like/as pasture their and desolation fatling to sojourn to eat

Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.

18 woe! to draw [the] iniquity: crime in/on/with cord [the] vanity: false and like/as cord [the] cart sin

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,

20 woe! [the] to say to/for bad: evil good and to/for good bad: evil to set: put darkness to/for light and light to/for darkness to set: put bitter to/for sweet and sweet to/for bitter

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.

21 woe! wise in/on/with eye their and before face: before their to understand

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

22 woe! mighty man to/for to drink wine and human strength to/for to mix strong drink

Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing beer,

who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.

24 to/for so like/as to eat stubble tongue fire and chaff flame to slacken root their like/as decay to be and flower their like/as dust to ascend: rise for to reject [obj] instruction LORD Hosts and [obj] word holy Israel to spurn

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 upon so to be incensed face: anger LORD in/on/with people his and to stretch hand his upon him and to smite him and to tremble [the] mountain: mount and to be carcass their like/as offal in/on/with entrails: among outside in/on/with all this not to return: turn back face: anger his and still hand his to stretch

Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

26 and to lift: raise ensign to/for nation from distant and to whistle to/for him from end [the] land: country/planet and behold haste swift to come (in): come

He lifts a banner for the distant nations and whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!

27 nothing faint and nothing to stumble in/on/with him not to slumber and not to sleep and not to open girdle loin his and not to tear thong sandal his

None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.

28 which arrow his to sharpen and all bow his to tread hoof horse his like/as hard to devise: think and wheel his like/as whirlwind

Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows are strung. The hooves of their horses are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.

29 roaring to/for him like/as lion (to roar *Q(K)*) like/as lion and to groan and to grasp prey and to escape and nothing to rescue

Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away from deliverance.

30 and to groan upon him in/on/with day [the] he/she/it like/as groaning sea and to look to/for land: country/planet and behold darkness distress and light to darken in/on/with cloud her

In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.
