  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 ¶
Now°
will I sing°°
to my wellbeloved°
a song°
of my beloved°
touching his vineyard.°
My wellbeloved°
hath°
a vineyard°
in a very fruitful°°
hill:°°° |
|
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 fenced°°
it, and gathered out the stones°°
thereof, and planted°°
it with the choicest vine,°
and built°°
a tower°
in the midst°
of it, and also°
made°°
a winepress°
therein: and he looked°°
that it should bring forth°°
grapes,°
and it brought forth°°
wild grapes.° |
|
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 inhabitants°°
of Jerusalem,°
and men°
of Judah,°
judge,°°
I pray you,°
betwixt°
me and my vineyard.° |
|
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
What°
could have been done°°
more°
to my vineyard,°
that I have not°
done°°
in it? wherefore,°
when I looked°°
that it should bring forth°°
grapes,°
brought it forth°°
wild grapes?° |
|
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 now°
go to; I will tell°°°
you°
what°
I°
will do°°
to my vineyard:°
I will take away°°
the hedge°
thereof, and it shall be°
eaten up;°°
[and] break down°°
the wall°
thereof, and it shall be°
trodden down:° |
|
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 lay°°
it waste:°
it shall not°
be pruned,°°°
nor°
digged;°°
but there shall come up°°
briers°
and thorns:°
I will also command°°°
the clouds°
that they rain°°
no rain°°°
upon°
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
For°
the vineyard°
of Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
[is] the house°
of Israel,°
and the men°
of Judah°
his pleasant°
plant:°
and he looked°°
for judgment,°
but behold°
oppression;°
for righteousness,°
but behold°
a cry.° |
|
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 ¶
Woe°
unto them that join°°
house°
to house,°
[that] lay°°
field°
to field,°
till°
[there be] no°
place,°
that they may be placed°°
alone°
in the midst°
of the earth!° |
|
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 ears°
[said] Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
Of a truth°°
many°
houses°
shall be°
desolate,°
[even] great°
and fair,°
without°°
inhabitant.°° |
|
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,°
ten°
acres°
of vineyard°
shall yield°°
one°
bath,°
and the seed°
of an homer°
shall yield°°
an ephah.° |
|
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 ¶
Woe°
unto them that rise up early°°
in the morning,°
[that] they may follow°°
strong drink;°
that continue°°
until night,°
[till] wine°
inflame°°
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,°
and the viol,°
the tabret,°
and pipe,°
and wine,°
are°
in their feasts:°
but they regard°°
not°
the work°
of Yahweh,°
neither°
consider°°
the operation°
of his hands.° |
|
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 ¶
Therefore°
my people°
are gone into captivity,°°
because [they have] no°°
knowledge:°
and their honourable°
men°
[are] famished,°
and their multitude°
dried up°
with thirst.° |
|
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
Therefore°
hell°
hath enlarged°°
herself,°
and opened°°
her mouth°
without°
measure:°
and their glory,°
and their multitude,°
and their pomp,°
and he that rejoiceth,°
shall descend°°
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 man°
shall be brought down,°°
and the mighty man°
shall be humbled,°°
and the eyes°
of the lofty°
shall be humbled:°° |
|
5:16
But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgement, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness. |
|
5:16
But Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
shall be exalted°°
in judgment,°
and El°
that is holy°
shall be sanctified°°
in righteousness.° |
|
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 lambs°
feed°°
after their manner,°
and the waste places°
of the fat ones°
shall strangers°°
eat.°° |
|
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
Woe°
unto them that draw°°
iniquity°
with cords°
of vanity,°
and sin°°
as it were with a cart°
rope:° |
|
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,°°
Let him make speed,°°
[and] hasten°°
his work,°
that°
we may see°°
[it]: and let the counsel°
of the Holy One°
of Israel°
draw nigh°°
and come,°°
that we may know°°
[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 ¶
Woe°
unto them that call°°
evil°
good,°
and good°
evil;°
that put°°
darkness°
for light,°
and light°
for darkness;°
that put°°
bitter°
for sweet,°
and sweet°
for bitter!° |
|
5:21
Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight. |
|
5:21
Woe°
unto [them that are] wise°
in their own eyes,°
and prudent°°
in°
their own sight!° |
|
5:22
Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink: |
|
5:22
Woe°
unto [them that are] mighty°
to drink°°
wine,°
and men°°
of strength°
to mingle°°
strong drink:° |
|
5:23
who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous. |
|
5:23
Which justify°°
the wicked°
for°
reward,°
and take away°°
the righteousness°
of the righteous°
from°
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
Therefore°
as the fire°
devoureth°°
the stubble,°
and the flame°°
consumeth°°
the chaff,°
[so] their root°
shall be°
as rottenness,°
and their blossom°
shall go up°°
as dust:°
because°
they have cast away°°°
the law°
of Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
and despised°°
the word°
of the Holy One°
of Israel.° |
|
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
Therefore°°
is the anger°
of Yahweh°
kindled°°
against his people,°
and he hath stretched forth°°
his hand°
against°
them, and hath smitten°°
them: and the hills°
did tremble,°°
and their carcases°
[were] torn°°
in the midst°
of the streets.°
For all°
this°
his anger°
is not°
turned away,°°
but his hand°
[is] stretched out°°
still.° |
|
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 up°°
an ensign°
to the nations°
from far,°°
and will hiss°°
unto them from the end°°
of the earth:°
and, behold,°
they shall come°°
with speed°
swiftly:° |
|
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
None°
shall be weary°
nor°
stumble°°
among them; none°
shall slumber°°
nor°
sleep;°°
neither°
shall the girdle°
of their loins°
be loosed,°°
nor°
the latchet°
of their shoes°
be broken:°° |
|
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
Whose°
arrows°
[are] sharp,°°
and all°
their bows°
bent,°°
their horses'°
hoofs°
shall be counted°°
like flint,°°
and their wheels°
like a whirlwind:° |
|
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 roaring°
[shall be] like a lion,°
they shall roar°°°°
like young lions:°
yea, they shall roar,°°
and lay hold°°
of the prey,°
and shall carry [it] away safe,°°
and none°
shall deliver°°
[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 that°
day°
they shall roar°°
against°
them like the roaring°
of the sea:°
and if [one] look°°
unto the land,°
behold°
darkness°
[and] sorrow,°
and the light°
is darkened°°
in the heavens°
thereof. |
