5:1 Now will I sing 7891 8799 to my wellbeloved 3039 a song 7892 of my beloved 1730 touching his vineyard 3754. My wellbeloved 3039 hath a vineyard 3754 in a very fruitful 1121 8081 hill 7161:(a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil)

5:2 And he fenced 5823 8762 it, and gathered out the stones 5619 8762 thereof, and planted 5193 8799 it with the choicest vine 8321, and built 1129 8799 a tower 4026 in the midst 8432 of it, and also made 2672 8804 a winepress 3342 therein: and he looked 6960 8762 that it should bring forth 6213 8800 grapes 6025, and it brought forth 6213 8799 wild grapes 891.(fenced: or, made a wall about)(made: Heb. hewed)

5:3 And now, O inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, and men 376 of Judah 3063, judge 8199 8798, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard 3754.

5:4 What could have been done 6213 8800 more to my vineyard 3754, that I have not done 6213 8804 in it? wherefore 4069, when I looked 6960 8765 that it should bring forth 6213 8800 grapes 6025, brought it forth 6213 8799 wild grapes 891?

5:5 And now go to; I will tell 3045 8686 you what I will do 6213 8802 to my vineyard 3754: I will take away 5493 8687 the hedge 4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten up 1197 8763; [and] break down 6555 8800 the wall 1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden down 4823:(trodden…: Heb. for a treading)

5:6 And I will lay 7896 8799 it waste 1326: it shall not be pruned 2168 8735, nor digged 5737 8735; but there shall come up 5927 8804 briers 8068 and thorns 7898: I will also command 6680 8762 the clouds 5645 that they rain 4305 8687 no rain 4306 upon it.

5:7 For the vineyard 3754 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [is] the house 1004 of Israel 3478, and the men 376 of Judah 3063 his pleasant 8191 plant 5194: and he looked 6960 8762 for judgment 4941, but behold oppression 4939; for righteousness 6666, but behold a cry 6818.(his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures)(oppression: Heb. a scab)

5:8 Woe 1945 unto them that join 5060 8688 house 1004 to house 1004, [that] lay 7126 8686 field 7704 to field 7704, till [there be] no 657 place 4725, that they may be placed 3427 8717 alone in the midst 7130 of the earth 776!(they: Heb. ye)

5:9 In mine ears 241 [said] the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, Of a truth 3808 many 7227 houses 1004 shall be desolate 8047, [even] great 1419 and fair 2896, without inhabitant 3427 8802.(In…: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc)(Of a…: Heb. If not, etc)

5:10 Yea 3588, ten 6235 acres 6776 of vineyard 3754 shall yield 6213 8799 one 259 bath 1324, and the seed 2233 of an homer 2563 shall yield 6213 8799 an ephah 374.

5:11 Woe 1945 unto them that rise up early 7925 8688 in the morning 1242, [that] they may follow 7291 8799 strong drink 7941; that continue 309 8764 until night 5399, [till] wine 3196 inflame 1814 8686 them!(inflame: of, pursue)

5:12 And the harp 3658, and the viol 5035, the tabret 8596, and pipe 2485, and wine 3196, are in their feasts 4960: but they regard 5027 8686 not the work 6467 of the LORD 3068, neither consider 7200 8804 the operation 4639 of his hands 3027.

5:13 Therefore my people 5971 are gone into captivity 1540 8804, because [they have] no knowledge 1847: and their honourable 3519 men 4962 [are] famished 7458, and their multitude 1995 dried up 6704 with thirst 6772.(honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine)

5:14 Therefore hell 7585 hath enlarged 7337 8689 herself 5315, and opened 6473 8804 her mouth 6310 without measure 2706: and their glory 1926, and their multitude 1995, and their pomp 7588, and he that rejoiceth 5938, shall descend 3381 8804 into it.

5:15 And the mean man 120 shall be brought down 7817 8735, and the mighty man 376 shall be humbled 8213 8799, and the eyes 5869 of the lofty 1364 shall be humbled 8213 8799:

5:16 But the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 shall be exalted 1361 8799 in judgment 4941, and God 410 that is holy 6918 shall be sanctified 6942 8738 in righteousness 6666.(God…: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy)

5:17 Then shall the lambs 3532 feed 7462 8804 after their manner 1699, and the waste places 2723 of the fat ones 4220 shall strangers 1481 8802 eat 398 8799.

5:18 Woe 1945 unto them that draw 4900 8802 iniquity 5771 with cords 2256 of vanity 7723, and sin 2403 as it were with a cart 5699 rope 5688:

5:19 That say 559 8802, Let him make speed 4116 8762, [and] hasten 2363 8686 his work 4639, that we may see 7200 8799 [it]: and let the counsel 6098 of the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478 draw nigh 7126 8799 and come 935 8799, that we may know 3045 8799 [it]!

5:20 Woe 1945 unto them that call 559 8802 evil 7451 good 2896, and good 2896 evil 7451; that put 7760 8802 darkness 2822 for light 216, and light 216 for darkness 2822; that put 7760 8802 bitter 4751 for sweet 4966, and sweet 4966 for bitter 4751!(call…: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc)

5:21 Woe 1945 unto [them that are] wise 2450 in their own eyes 5869, and prudent 995 8737 in their own sight 6440!(in their own sight: Heb. before their face)

5:22 Woe 1945 unto [them that are] mighty 1368 to drink 8354 8800 wine 3196, and men 582 of strength 2428 to mingle 4537 8800 strong drink 7941:

5:23 Which justify 6663 8688 the wicked 7563 for 6118 reward 7810, and take away 5493 8686 the righteousness 6666 of the righteous 6662 from him!

5:24 Therefore as the fire 784 devoureth 398 8800 the stubble 7179, and the flame 3956 3852 consumeth 7503 8799 the chaff 2842, [so] their root 8328 shall be as rottenness 4716, and their blossom 6525 shall go up 5927 8799 as dust 80: because they have cast away 3988 8804 the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, and despised 5006 8765 the word 565 of the Holy One 6918 of Israel 3478.(fire: Heb. tongue of fire)

5:25 Therefore is the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 kindled 2734 8804 against his people 5971, and he hath stretched forth 5186 8799 his hand 3027 against them, and hath smitten 5221 8686 them: and the hills 2022 did tremble 7264 8799, and their carcases 5038 [were] torn 5478 in the midst 7130 of the streets 2351. For all this his anger 639 is not turned away 7725 8804, but his hand 3027 [is] stretched out 5186 8803 still.(torn: or, as dung)

5:26 And he will lift up 5375 8804 an ensign 5251 to the nations 1471 from far 7350, and will hiss 8319 8804 unto them from the end 7097 of the earth 776: and, behold, they shall come 935 8799 with speed 4120 swiftly 7031:

5:27 None shall be weary 5889 nor stumble 3782 8802 among them; none shall slumber 5123 8799 nor sleep 3462 8799; neither shall the girdle 232 of their loins 2504 be loosed 6605 8738, nor the latchet 8288 of their shoes 5275 be broken 5423 8738:

5:28 Whose arrows 2671 [are] sharp 8150 8802, and all their bows 7198 bent 1869 8803, their horses' 5483 hoofs 6541 shall be counted 2803 8738 like flint 6862, and their wheels 1534 like a whirlwind 5492:

5:29 Their roaring 7581 [shall be] like a lion 3833, they shall roar 7580 8799 8675 7580 8804 like young lions 3715: yea, they shall roar 5098 8799, and lay hold 270 8799 of the prey 2964, and shall carry [it] away safe 6403 8686, and none shall deliver 5337 8688 [it].

5:30 And in that day 3117 they shall roar 5098 8799 against them like the roaring 5100 of the sea 3220: and if [one] look 5027 8765 unto the land 776, behold darkness 2822 [and] sorrow 6862, and the light 216 is darkened 2821 8804 in the heavens 6183 thereof.(sorrow: or, distress)(and the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof)
