 5:1 ¶
Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place. |
|
 5:1 ¶
Nowº
will I singºº
to my wellbelovedº
a songº
of my belovedº
touching his vineyard.º
My wellbelovedº
hathº
a vineyardº
in a very fruitfulºº
hill:ººº |
 5:2
And I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns. |
 5:2
And he fencedºº
it, and gathered out the stonesºº
thereof, and plantedºº
it with the choicest vine,º
and builtºº
a towerº
in the midstº
of it, and alsoº
madeºº
a winepressº
therein: and he lookedºº
that it should bring forthºº
grapes,º
and it brought forthºº
wild grapes.º |
 5:3
And now, ye dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Judah{gr.Juda}, judge between me and my vineyard. |
 5:3
And now,º
O inhabitantsºº
of Jerusalem,º
and menº
of Judah,º
judge,ºº
I pray you,º
betwixtº
me and my vineyard.º |
 5:4
What shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns. |
 5:4
Whatº
could have been doneºº
moreº
to my vineyard,º
that I have notº
doneºº
in it? wherefore,º
when I lookedºº
that it should bring forthºº
grapes,º
brought it forthºº
wild grapes?º |
 5:5
And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down. |
 5:5
And nowº
go to; I will tellººº
youº
whatº
Iº
will doºº
to my vineyard:º
I will take awayºº
the hedgeº
thereof, and it shall beº
eaten up;ºº
[and] break downºº
the wallº
thereof, and it shall beº
trodden down:º |
 5:6
And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it. |
 5:6
And I will layºº
it waste:º
it shall notº
be pruned,ººº
norº
digged;ºº
but there shall come upºº
briersº
and thorns:º
I will also commandººº
the cloudsº
that they rainºº
no rainººº
uponº
it. |
 5:7
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah{gr.Juda} [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgement, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry. |
 5:7
Forº
the vineyardº
of Yahwehº
Sabaothº
[is] the houseº
of Israel,º
and the menº
of Judahº
his pleasantº
plant:º
and he lookedºº
for judgment,º
but beholdº
oppression;º
for righteousness,º
but beholdº
a cry.º |
 5:8 ¶
Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will ye dwell alone upon the land? |
 5:8 ¶
Woeº
unto them that joinºº
houseº
to house,º
[that] layºº
fieldº
to field,º
tillº
[there be] noº
place,º
that they may be placedºº
aloneº
in the midstº
of the earth!º |
 5:9
For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them. |
 5:9
In mine earsº
[said] Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
Of a truthºº
manyº
housesº
shall beº
desolate,º
[even] greatº
and fair,º
withoutºº
inhabitant.ºº |
 5:10
For where ten yoke of oxen plough [the land] shall yield one jar-full, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures. |
 5:10
Yea,º
tenº
acresº
of vineyardº
shall yieldºº
oneº
bath,º
and the seedº
of an homerº
shall yieldºº
an ephah.º |
 5:11 ¶
Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall inflame them. |
 5:11 ¶
Woeº
unto them that rise up earlyºº
in the morning,º
[that] they may followºº
strong drink;º
that continueºº
until night,º
[till] wineº
inflameºº
them! |
 5:12
For they drink wine with harp, and psaltery, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands. |
 5:12
And the harp,º
and the viol,º
the tabret,º
and pipe,º
and wine,º
areº
in their feasts:º
but they regardºº
notº
the workº
of Yahweh,º
neitherº
considerºº
the operationº
of his hands.º |
 5:13 ¶
Therefore my people have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water. |
 5:13 ¶
Thereforeº
my peopleº
are gone into captivity,ºº
because [they have] noºº
knowledge:º
and their honourableº
menº
[are] famished,º
and their multitudeº
dried upº
with thirst.º |
 5:14
Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [into it]. |
 5:14
Thereforeº
hellº
hath enlargedºº
herself,º
and openedºº
her mouthº
withoutº
measure:º
and their glory,º
and their multitude,º
and their pomp,º
and he that rejoiceth,º
shall descendºº
into it. |
 5:15
And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low. |
 5:15
And the mean manº
shall be brought down,ºº
and the mighty manº
shall be humbled,ºº
and the eyesº
of the loftyº
shall be humbled:ºº |
 5:16
But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgement, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness. |
 5:16
But Yahwehº
Sabaothº
shall be exaltedºº
in judgment,º
and Elº
that is holyº
shall be sanctifiedºº
in righteousness.º |
 5:17
And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away. |
 5:17
Then shall the lambsº
feedºº
after their manner,º
and the waste placesº
of the fat onesº
shall strangersºº
eat.ºº |
 5:18
Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke: |
 5:18
Woeº
unto them that drawºº
iniquityº
with cordsº
of vanity,º
and sinºº
as it were with a cartº
rope:º |
 5:19
who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it]. |
 5:19
That say,ºº
Let him make speed,ºº
[and] hastenºº
his work,º
thatº
we may seeºº
[it]: and let the counselº
of the Holy Oneº
of Israelº
draw nighºº
and come,ºº
that we may knowºº
[it]! |
 5:20 ¶
Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter. |
 5:20 ¶
Woeº
unto them that callºº
evilº
good,º
and goodº
evil;º
that putºº
darknessº
for light,º
and lightº
for darkness;º
that putºº
bitterº
for sweet,º
and sweetº
for bitter!º |
 5:21
Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight. |
 5:21
Woeº
unto [them that are] wiseº
in their own eyes,º
and prudentºº
inº
their own sight!º |
 5:22
Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink: |
 5:22
Woeº
unto [them that are] mightyº
to drinkºº
wine,º
and menºº
of strengthº
to mingleºº
strong drink:º |
 5:23
who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous. |
 5:23
Which justifyºº
the wickedº
forº
reward,º
and take awayºº
the righteousnessº
of the righteousº
fromº
him! |
 5:24
Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel. |
 5:24
Thereforeº
as the fireº
devourethºº
the stubble,º
and the flameºº
consumethºº
the chaff,º
[so] their rootº
shall beº
as rottenness,º
and their blossomº
shall go upºº
as dust:º
becauseº
they have cast awayººº
the lawº
of Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
and despisedºº
the wordº
of the Holy Oneº
of Israel.º |
 5:25
Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and smote them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised. |
 5:25
Thereforeºº
is the angerº
of Yahwehº
kindledºº
against his people,º
and he hath stretched forthºº
his handº
againstº
them, and hath smittenºº
them: and the hillsº
did tremble,ºº
and their carcasesº
[were] tornºº
in the midstº
of the streets.º
For allº
thisº
his angerº
is notº
turned away,ºº
but his handº
[is] stretched outºº
still.º |
 5:26 ¶
Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly. |
 5:26 ¶
And he will lift upºº
an ensignº
to the nationsº
from far,ºº
and will hissºº
unto them from the endºº
of the earth:º
and, behold,º
they shall comeºº
with speedº
swiftly:º |
 5:27
They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets be broken. |
 5:27
Noneº
shall be wearyº
norº
stumbleºº
among them; noneº
shall slumberºº
norº
sleep;ºº
neitherº
shall the girdleº
of their loinsº
be loosed,ºº
norº
the latchetº
of their shoesº
be broken:ºº |
 5:28
Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm. |
 5:28
Whoseº
arrowsº
[are] sharp,ºº
and allº
their bowsº
bent,ºº
their horses'º
hoofsº
shall be countedºº
like flint,ºº
and their wheelsº
like a whirlwind:º |
 5:29
They rage as lions, and draw nigh as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them. |
 5:29
Their roaringº
[shall be] like a lion,º
they shall roarºººº
like young lions:º
yea, they shall roar,ºº
and lay holdºº
of the prey,º
and shall carry [it] away safe,ºº
and noneº
shall deliverºº
[it]. |
 5:30
And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity. |
 5:30
And in thatº
dayº
they shall roarºº
againstº
them like the roaringº
of the sea:º
and if [one] lookºº
unto the land,º
beholdº
darknessº
[and] sorrow,º
and the lightº
is darkenedºº
in the heavensº
thereof. |
