1 # Now will I sing <07891> (8799) to my wellbeloved <03039> a song <07892> of my beloved <01730> touching his vineyard <03754>. My wellbeloved <03039> hath a vineyard <03754> in a very fruitful <01121> <08081> hill <07161>:
2 And he fenced <05823> (8762) it, and gathered out the stones <05619> (8762) thereof, and planted <05193> (8799) it with the choicest vine <08321>, and built <01129> (8799) a tower <04026> in the midst <08432> of it, and also made <02672> (8804) a winepress <03342> therein: and he looked <06960> (8762) that it should bring forth <06213> (8800) grapes <06025>, and it brought forth <06213> (8799) wild grapes <0891>.
3 And now, O inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, and men <0376> of Judah <03063>, judge <08199> (8798), I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard <03754>.
4 What could have been done <06213> (8800) more to my vineyard <03754>, that I have not done <06213> (8804) in it? wherefore <04069>, when I looked <06960> (8765) that it should bring forth <06213> (8800) grapes <06025>, brought it forth <06213> (8799) wild grapes <0891>?
5 And now go to; I will tell <03045> (8686) you what I will do <06213> (8802) to my vineyard <03754>: I will take away <05493> (8687) the hedge <04881> thereof, and it shall be eaten up <01197> (8763); and break down <06555> (8800) the wall <01447> thereof, and it shall be trodden down <04823>:
6 And I will lay <07896> (8799) it waste <01326>: it shall not be pruned <02168> (8735), nor digged <05737> (8735); but there shall come up <05927> (8804) briers <08068> and thorns <07898>: I will also command <06680> (8762) the clouds <05645> that they rain <04305> (8687) no rain <04306> upon it.
7 For the vineyard <03754> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> is the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, and the men <0376> of Judah <03063> his pleasant <08191> plant <05194>: and he looked <06960> (8762) for judgment <04941> , but behold oppression <04939>; for righteousness <06666>, but behold a cry <06818>.
8 # Woe <01945> unto them that join <05060> (8688) house <01004> to house <01004>, that lay <07126> (8686) field <07704> to field <07704>, till there be no <0657> place <04725>, that they may be placed <03427> (8717) alone in the midst <07130> of the earth <0776>!
9 In mine ears <0241> said the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, Of a truth <03808> many <07227> houses <01004> shall be desolate <08047>, even great <01419> and fair <02896>, without inhabitant <03427> (8802).
10 Yea <03588>, ten <06235> acres <06776> of vineyard <03754> shall yield <06213> (8799) one <0259> bath <01324>, and the seed <02233> of an homer <02563> shall yield <06213> (8799) an ephah <0374>.
11 Woe <01945> unto them that rise up early <07925> (8688) in the morning <01242>, that they may follow <07291> (8799) strong drink <07941>; that continue <0309> (8764) until night <05399>, till wine <03196> inflame <01814> (8686) them!
12 And the harp <03658>, and the viol <05035>, the tabret <08596>, and pipe <02485>, and wine <03196>, are in their feasts <04960>: but they regard <05027> (8686) not the work <06467> of the LORD <03068>, neither consider <07200> (8804) the operation <04639> of his hands <03027>.
13 Therefore my people <05971> are gone into captivity <01540> (8804), because they have no knowledge <01847>: and their honourable <03519> men <04962> are famished <07458>, and their multitude <01995> dried up <06704> with thirst <06772> .
14 Therefore hell <07585> hath enlarged <07337> (8689) herself <05315>, and opened <06473> (8804) her mouth <06310> without measure <02706>: and their glory <01926>, and their multitude <01995>, and their pomp <07588>, and he that rejoiceth <05938>, shall descend <03381> (8804) into it.
15 And the mean man <0120> shall be brought down <07817> (8735), and the mighty man <0376> shall be humbled <08213> (8799), and the eyes <05869> of the lofty <01364> shall be humbled <08213> (8799):
16 But the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall be exalted <01361> (8799) in judgment <04941>, and God <0410> that is holy <06918> shall be sanctified <06942> (8738) in righteousness <06666>.
17 Then shall the lambs <03532> feed <07462> (8804) after their manner <01699>, and the waste places <02723> of the fat ones <04220> shall strangers <01481> (8802) eat <0398> (8799).
18 # Woe <01945> unto them that draw <04900> (8802) iniquity <05771> with cords <02256> of vanity <07723> , and sin <02403> as it were with a cart <05699> rope <05688>:
19 That say <0559> (8802), Let him make speed <04116> (8762), and hasten <02363> (8686) his work <04639>, that we may see <07200> (8799) it: and let the counsel <06098> of the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478> draw nigh <07126> (8799) and come <0935> (8799), that we may know <03045> (8799) it!
20 Woe <01945> unto them that call <0559> (8802) evil <07451> good <02896>, and good <02896> evil <07451>; that put <07760> (8802) darkness <02822> for light <0216>, and light <0216> for darkness <02822>; that put <07760> (8802) bitter <04751> for sweet <04966>, and sweet <04966> for bitter <04751>!
21 Woe <01945> unto them that are wise <02450> in their own eyes <05869>, and prudent <0995> (8737) in their own sight <06440>!
22 Woe <01945> unto them that are mighty <01368> to drink <08354> (8800) wine <03196>, and men <0582> of strength <02428> to mingle <04537> (8800) strong drink <07941>:
23 Which justify <06663> (8688) the wicked <07563> for <06118> reward <07810>, and take away <05493> (8686) the righteousness <06666> of the righteous <06662> from him!
24 Therefore as the fire <0784> devoureth <0398> (8800) the stubble <07179>, and the flame <03956> <03852> consumeth <07503> (8799) the chaff <02842>, so their root <08328> shall be as rottenness <04716>, and their blossom <06525> shall go up <05927> (8799) as dust <080>: because they have cast away <03988> (8804) the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and despised <05006> (8765) the word <0565> of the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>.
25 Therefore is the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> kindled <02734> (8804) against his people <05971>, and he hath stretched forth <05186> (8799) his hand <03027> against them, and hath smitten <05221> (8686) them: and the hills <02022> did tremble <07264> (8799), and their carcases <05038> were torn <05478> in the midst <07130> of the streets <02351>. For all this his anger <0639> is not turned away <07725> (8804), but his hand <03027> is stretched out <05186> (8803) still.
26 And he will lift up <05375> (8804) an ensign <05251> to the nations <01471> from far <07350>, and will hiss <08319> (8804) unto them from the end <07097> of the earth <0776>: and, behold, they shall come <0935> (8799) with speed <04120> swiftly <07031>:
27 None shall be weary <05889> nor stumble <03782> (8802) among them; none shall slumber <05123> (8799) nor sleep <03462> (8799); neither shall the girdle <0232> of their loins <02504> be loosed <06605> (8738), nor the latchet <08288> of their shoes <05275> be broken <05423> (8738):
28 Whose arrows <02671> are sharp <08150> (8802), and all their bows <07198> bent <01869> (8803) , their horses <05483>' hoofs <06541> shall be counted <02803> (8738) like flint <06862>, and their wheels <01534> like a whirlwind <05492>:
29 Their roaring <07581> shall be like a lion <03833>, they shall roar <07580> (8799) (8675) <07580> (8804) like young lions <03715>: yea, they shall roar <05098> (8799), and lay hold <0270> (8799) of the prey <02964> , and shall carry it away safe <06403> (8686), and none shall deliver <05337> (8688) it.
30 And in that day <03117> they shall roar <05098> (8799) against them like the roaring <05100> of the sea <03220> : and if one look <05027> (8765) unto the land <0776>, behold darkness <02822> and sorrow <06862>, and the light <0216> is darkened <02821> (8804) in the heavens <06183> thereof.
