Isaiah 5:1 Let me sing7891 for my well beloved3039 a song7892 of my beloved1730 about his vineyard.3754 My beloved3039 had a vineyard3754 on a very fruitful1121 hill.7161 cr 2 He dug5823 it up, gathered out its stones,5619 planted5193 it with the choicest vine,8321 built1129 a tower4026 in its midst,8432 and also cut2672 out a winepress3342 therein. He looked6960 for it to yield6213 grapes,6025 but it yielded6213 wild grapes.891 cr 3 "Now, inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem3389 and men376 of Judah,3063 please judge8199 between me and my vineyard.3754 cr 4 What could have been done6213 more to my vineyard,3754 that I have not done6213 in it? Why,4069 when I looked6960 for it to yield6213 grapes,6025 did it yield6213 wild grapes?891 cr 5 Now I will tell3045 you what I will do6213 to my vineyard.3754 I will take away5493 its hedge,4881 and it will be eaten up.1197 I will break down6555 its wall1447 of it, and it will be trampled down.4823 cr 6 I will lay7896 it a wasteland.1326 It won't be pruned2168 nor hoed,5737 but it will grow5927 briers8068 and thorns.7898 I will also command6680 the clouds5645 that they rain4305 no rain4305 on it." cr 7 For the vineyard3754 of Yahweh3068 of Armies6635 is the house1004 of Israel,3478 and the men376 of Judah3063 his pleasant8191 plant:5194 and he looked6960 for justice,4941 but, behold, oppression;4939 for righteousness,6666 but, behold, a cry6818 of distress. cr 8 Woe1945 to those who join5060 house1004 to house,1004 who lay7126 field7704 to field,7704 until there is no657 room,4725 and you are made to dwell3427 alone in the midst7130 of the land!776 cr 9 In my ears,241 Yahweh3068 of Armies6635 says: "Surely3808 many7227 houses1004 will be desolate,8047 even great1419 and beautiful,2896 unoccupied.3427 cr 10 {1 bath is about 22 liters or 5.8 U.

Isaiah 5:11 Woe1945 to those who rise up early7925 in the morning,1242 that they may follow7291 strong drink;7941 who stay309 late into the night,5399 until wine3196 inflames1814 them! cr 12 The harp,3658 lyre,5035 tambourine,8596 and flute,5035 with wine,3196 are at their feasts;4960 but they don't respect5027 the work6467 of Yahweh,3068 neither have they considered7200 the operation6467 of his hands.3027 cr 13 Therefore my people5971 go into captivity1540 for lack of knowledge.1847 Their honorable3519 men4962 are famished,7458 and their multitudes1995 are parched6704 with thirst.6772 cr 14 Therefore Sheol7585 has enlarged7337 its desire,6310 and opened6473 its mouth6310 without measure;2706 and their glory,1926 their multitude,1995 their pomp,7588 and he who rejoices5938 among them, descend3381 into it. cr 15 So man120 is brought low,7817 mankind120 is humbled,8213 and the eyes5869 of the arrogant1364 ones are humbled;8213 cr 16 but Yahweh3068 of Armies6635 is exalted1361 in justice,4941 and God410 the Holy6918 One is sanctified6942 in righteousness.6666 cr 17 Then the lambs3532 will graze7462 as in their pasture,1699 and strangers1481 will eat398 the ruins2723 of the rich.4220 cr

Isaiah 5:18 Woe1945 to those who draw4900 iniquity5771 with cords2256 of falsehood,7723 and wickedness2403 as with cart5699 rope;5688 cr 19 Who say,559 "Let him make speed,4116 let him hasten2363 his work,4639 that we may see7200 it; and let the counsel6098 of the Holy One6918 of Israel3478 draw near7126 and come,935 that we may know3045 it!" cr 20 Woe1945 to those who call559 evil7451 good,2896 and good2896 evil;7451 who put7760 darkness2822 for light,216 and light216 for darkness;2822 who put7760 bitter4751 for sweet,4966 and sweet4966 for bitter!4751 cr 21 Woe1945 to those who are wise2450 in their own eyes,5869 and prudent995 in their own sight!6440 cr 22 Woe1945 to those who are mighty1368 to drink8354 wine,3196 and582 champions2428 at mixing4537 strong drink;7941 cr 23 who acquit6663 the guilty7563 for6118 a bribe,7810 but deny5493 justice6666 for the innocent!6662 cr 24 Therefore as the tongue of fire784 devours398 the stubble,7179 and as the dry grass2842 sinks down7503 in the flame,3956 so their root8328 shall be as rottenness,4716 and their blossom6525 shall go up5927 as dust;80 because they have rejected3988 the law8451 of Yahweh3068 of Armies,6635 and despised5006 the word565 of the Holy One6918 of Israel.3478 cr 25 Therefore Yahweh's3068 anger639 burns2734 against his people,5971 and he has stretched out5186 his hand3027 against them, and has struck5221 them. The mountains2022 tremble,7264 and their dead bodies5038 are as refuse5478 in the midst7130 of the streets.2351 For all this, his anger639 is not turned away,7725 but his hand3027 is still stretched out.5186 cr 26 He will lift up5375 a banner5251 to the nations1471 from far,7350 and he will whistle8319 for them from the end7097 of the earth.776 Behold, they will come935 speedily4120 and swiftly.7031 cr 27 None shall be weary5889 nor stumble3782 among them; none shall slumber5123 nor sleep;3462 neither shall the belt232 of their waist2504 be untied,6605 nor the latchet8288 of their shoes5275 be broken:5423 cr 28 whose arrows2671 are sharp,8150 and all their bows7198 bent.1869 Their horses'5483 hoofs6541 will be like2803 flint,6862 and their wheels1534 like a whirlwind.5492 cr 29 Their roaring7581 will be like a lioness.3833 They will roar7580 like young lions.3715 Yes, they shall roar,5098 and seize270 their prey2964 and carry it off,6403 and there will be no one to deliver.5337 cr 30 They will roar5098 against them in that day3117 like the roaring5100 of the sea.3220 If one looks5027 to the land776 behold, darkness2822 and distress.6862 The light216 is darkened2821 in its clouds.6183 cr
