¹ H7891 Now will I sing [H8799]   H3039 to my wellbeloved H7892 a song H1730 of my beloved H3754 touching his vineyard H3039 . My wellbeloved H3754 hath a vineyard H1121 in a very fruitful H8081   H7161 hill:

² H5823 And he fenced [H8762]   H5619 it, and gathered out the stones [H8762]   H5193 thereof, and planted [H8799]   H8321 it with the choicest vine H1129 , and built [H8799]   H4026 a tower H8432 in the midst H2672 of it, and also made [H8804]   H3342 a winepress H6960 therein: and he looked [H8762]   H6213 that it should bring forth [H8800]   H6025 grapes H6213 , and it brought forth [H8799]   H891 wild grapes.

³ H3427 And now, O inhabitants [H8802]   H3389 of Jerusalem H376 , and men H3063 of Judah H8199 , judge [H8798]   H3754 , I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

⁴ H6213 What could have been done [H8800]   H3754 more to my vineyard H6213 , that I have not done [H8804]   H4069 in it? wherefore H6960 , when I looked [H8765]   H6213 that it should bring forth [H8800]   H6025 grapes H6213 , brought it forth [H8799]   H891 wild grapes?

⁵ H3045 And now go to; I will tell [H8686]   H6213 you what I will do [H8802]   H3754 to my vineyard H5493 : I will take away [H8687]   H4881 the hedge H1197 thereof, and it shall be eaten up [H8763]   H6555 ; and break down [H8800]   H1447 the wall H4823 thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

⁶ H7896 And I will lay [H8799]   H1326 it waste H2168 : it shall not be pruned [H8735]   H5737 , nor digged [H8735]   H5927 ; but there shall come up [H8804]   H8068 briers H7898 and thorns H6680 : I will also command [H8762]   H5645 the clouds H4305 that they rain [H8687]   H4306 no rain upon it.

⁷ H3754 For the vineyard H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts H1004 is the house H3478 of Israel H376 , and the men H3063 of Judah H8191 his pleasant H5194 plant H6960 : and he looked [H8762]   H4941 for judgment H4939 , but behold oppression H6666 ; for righteousness H6818 , but behold a cry.

⁸ H1945 Woe H5060 unto them that join [H8688]   H1004 house H1004 to house H7126 , that lay [H8686]   H7704 field H7704 to field H657 , till there be no H4725 place H3427 , that they may be placed [H8717]   H7130 alone in the midst H776 of the earth!

⁹ H241 In mine ears H3068 said the LORD H6635 of hosts H3808 , Of a truth H7227 many H1004 houses H8047 shall be desolate H1419 , even great H2896 and fair H3427 , without inhabitant [H8802]  .

¹⁰ H3588 Yea H6235 , ten H6776 acres H3754 of vineyard H6213 shall yield [H8799]   H259 one H1324 bath H2233 , and the seed H2563 of an homer H6213 shall yield [H8799]   H374 an ephah.

¹¹ H1945 Woe H7925 unto them that rise up early [H8688]   H1242 in the morning H7291 , that they may follow [H8799]   H7941 strong drink H309 ; that continue [H8764]   H5399 until night H3196 , till wine H1814 inflame [H8686]   them!

¹² H3658 And the harp H5035 , and the viol H8596 , the tabret H2485 , and pipe H3196 , and wine H4960 , are in their feasts H5027 : but they regard [H8686]   H6467 not the work H3068 of the LORD H7200 , neither consider [H8804]   H4639 the operation H3027 of his hands.

¹³ H5971 Therefore my people H1540 are gone into captivity [H8804]   H1847 , because they have no knowledge H3519 : and their honourable H4962 men H7458 are famished H1995 , and their multitude H6704 dried up H6772 with thirst.

¹⁴ H7585 Therefore hell H7337 hath enlarged [H8689]   H5315 herself H6473 , and opened [H8804]   H6310 her mouth H2706 without measure H1926 : and their glory H1995 , and their multitude H7588 , and their pomp H5938 , and he that rejoiceth H3381 , shall descend [H8804]   into it.

¹⁵ H120 And the mean man H7817 shall be brought down [H8735]   H376 , and the mighty man H8213 shall be humbled [H8799]   H5869 , and the eyes H1364 of the lofty H8213 shall be humbled [H8799]  :

¹⁶ H3068 But the LORD H6635 of hosts H1361 shall be exalted [H8799]   H4941 in judgment H410 , and God H6918 that is holy H6942 shall be sanctified [H8738]   H6666 in righteousness.

¹⁷ H3532 Then shall the lambs H7462 feed [H8804]   H1699 after their manner H2723 , and the waste places H4220 of the fat ones H1481 shall strangers [H8802]   H398 eat [H8799]  .

¹⁸ H1945 Woe H4900 unto them that draw [H8802]   H5771 iniquity H2256 with cords H7723 of vanity H2403 , and sin H5699 as it were with a cart H5688 rope:

¹⁹ H559 That say [H8802]   H4116 , Let him make speed [H8762]   H2363 , and hasten [H8686]   H4639 his work H7200 , that we may see [H8799]   H6098 it : and let the counsel H6918 of the Holy One H3478 of Israel H7126 draw nigh [H8799]   H935 and come [H8799]   H3045 , that we may know [H8799]   it!

²⁰ H1945 Woe H559 unto them that call [H8802]   H7451 evil H2896 good H2896 , and good H7451 evil H7760 ; that put [H8802]   H2822 darkness H216 for light H216 , and light H2822 for darkness H7760 ; that put [H8802]   H4751 bitter H4966 for sweet H4966 , and sweet H4751 for bitter!

²¹ H1945 Woe H2450 unto them that are wise H5869 in their own eyes H995 , and prudent [H8737]   H6440 in their own sight!

²² H1945 Woe H1368 unto them that are mighty H8354 to drink [H8800]   H3196 wine H582 , and men H2428 of strength H4537 to mingle [H8800]   H7941 strong drink:

²³ H6663 Which justify [H8688]   H7563 the wicked H6118 for H7810 reward H5493 , and take away [H8686]   H6666 the righteousness H6662 of the righteous from him!

²⁴ H784 Therefore as the fire H398 devoureth [H8800]   H7179 the stubble H3956 , and the flame H3852   H7503 consumeth [H8799]   H2842 the chaff H8328 , so their root H4716 shall be as rottenness H6525 , and their blossom H5927 shall go up [H8799]   H80 as dust H3988 : because they have cast away [H8804]   H8451 the law H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts H5006 , and despised [H8765]   H565 the word H6918 of the Holy One H3478 of Israel.

²⁵ H639 Therefore is the anger H3068 of the LORD H2734 kindled [H8804]   H5971 against his people H5186 , and he hath stretched forth [H8799]   H3027 his hand H5221 against them, and hath smitten [H8686]   H2022 them: and the hills H7264 did tremble [H8799]   H5038 , and their carcases H5478 were torn H7130 in the midst H2351 of the streets H639 . For all this his anger H7725 is not turned away [H8804]   H3027 , but his hand H5186 is stretched out [H8803]   still.

²⁶ H5375 And he will lift up [H8804]   H5251 an ensign H1471 to the nations H7350 from far H8319 , and will hiss [H8804]   H7097 unto them from the end H776 of the earth H935 : and, behold, they shall come [H8799]   H4120 with speed H7031 swiftly:

²⁷ H5889 None shall be weary H3782 nor stumble [H8802]   H5123 among them; none shall slumber [H8799]   H3462 nor sleep [H8799]   H232 ; neither shall the girdle H2504 of their loins H6605 be loosed [H8738]   H8288 , nor the latchet H5275 of their shoes H5423 be broken [H8738]  :

²⁸ H2671 Whose arrows H8150 are sharp [H8802]   H7198 , and all their bows H1869 bent [H8803]   H5483 , their horses H6541 ' hoofs H2803 shall be counted [H8738]   H6862 like flint H1534 , and their wheels H5492 like a whirlwind:

²⁹ H7581 Their roaring H3833 shall be like a lion H7580 , they shall roar [H8799]   [H8675]   H7580   [H8804]   H3715 like young lions H5098 : yea, they shall roar [H8799]   H270 , and lay hold [H8799]   H2964 of the prey H6403 , and shall carry it away safe [H8686]   H5337 , and none shall deliver [H8688]   it .

³⁰ H3117 And in that day H5098 they shall roar [H8799]   H5100 against them like the roaring H3220 of the sea H5027 : and if one look [H8765]   H776 unto the land H2822 , behold darkness H6862 and sorrow H216 , and the light H2821 is darkened [H8804]   H6183 in the heavens thereof.
