Let me sing{H7891} for my wellbeloved{H3039} a song{H7892} of my beloved{H3039} touching his vineyard.{H3754} My wellbeloved{H3039} had a vineyard{H3754} in a very fruitful{H1121} hill:{H7161}

and he digged{H5823} it, and gathered out the stones{H5619} thereof, and planted{H5193} it with the choicest vine,{H8321} and built{H1129} a tower{H4026} in the midst{H8432} of it, and also hewed{H2672} out a winepress{H3342} therein: and he looked{H6960} that it should bring forth{H6213} grapes,{H6025} and it brought forth{H6213} wild grapes.{H891}

And now, O inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem{H3389} and men{H376} of Judah,{H3063} judge,{H8199} I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.{H3754}

What could have been done{H6213} more to my vineyard,{H3754} that I have not done{H6213} in it? wherefore,{H4069} when I looked{H6960} that it should bring forth{H6213} grapes,{H6025} brought it forth{H6213} wild grapes?{H891}

And now I will tell{H3045} you what I will do{H6213} to my vineyard:{H3754} I will take away{H5493} the hedge{H4881} thereof, and it shall be eaten up;{H1197} I will break down{H6555} the wall{H1447} thereof, and it shall be trodden down:{H4823}

and I will lay{H7896} it waste;{H1326} it shall not be pruned{H2168} nor hoed;{H5737} but there shall come up{H5927} briers{H8068} and thorns:{H7898} I will also command{H6680} the clouds{H5645} that they rain{H4305} no rain{H4306} upon it.

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

Woe{H1945} unto them that join{H5060} house{H1004} to house,{H1004} that lay{H7126} field{H7704} to field,{H7704} till there be no{H657} room,{H4725} and ye be made to dwell{H3427} alone in the midst{H7130} of the land!{H776}

In mine ears{H241} [saith] Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} Of a truth{H3808} many{H7227} houses{H1004} shall be desolate,{H8047} even great{H1419} and fair,{H2896} without inhabitant.{H3427}

For{H3588} ten{H6235} acres{H6776} of vineyard{H3754} shall yield{H6213} one{H259} bath,{H1324} and a homer{H2563} of seed{H2233} shall yield{H6213} [but] an ephah.{H374}

Woe{H1945} unto them that rise up early{H7925} in the morning,{H1242} that they may follow{H7291} strong drink;{H7941} that tarry{H309} late into the night,{H5399} till wine{H3196} inflame{H1814} them!

And the harp{H3658} and the lute,{H5035} the tabret{H8596} and the pipe,{H2485} and wine,{H3196} are [in] their feasts;{H4960} but they regard{H5027} not the work{H6467} of Jehovah,{H3068} neither have they considered{H7200} the operation{H4639} of his hands.{H3027}

Therefore my people{H5971} are gone into captivity{H1540} for lack of knowledge;{H1847} and their honorable{H3519} men{H4962} are famished,{H7458} and their multitude{H1995} are parched{H6704} with thirst.{H6772}

Therefore Sheol{H7585} hath enlarged{H7337} its desire,{H6310} and opened{H6473} its mouth{H6310} without measure;{H2706} and their glory,{H1926} and their multitude,{H1995} and their pomp,{H7588} and he that rejoiceth{H5938} among them, descend{H3381} [into it].

And the mean man{H120} is bowed down,{H7817} and the great man{H376} is humbled,{H8213} and the eyes{H5869} of the lofty{H1364} are humbled:{H8213}

but Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is exalted{H1361} in justice,{H4941} and God{H410} the Holy{H6918} One is sanctified{H6942} in righteousness.{H6666}

Then shall the lambs{H3532} feed{H7462} as in their pasture,{H1699} and the waste places{H2723} of the fat ones{H4220} shall wanderers{H1481} eat.{H398}

Woe{H1945} unto them that draw{H4900} iniquity{H5771} with cords{H2256} of falsehood,{H7723} and sin{H2403} as it were with a cart{H5699} rope;{H5688}

that say,{H559} Let him make speed,{H4116} let him hasten{H2363} his work,{H4639} that we may see{H7200} it; and let the counsel{H6098} of the Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478} draw nigh{H7126} and come,{H935} that we may know{H3045} it!

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

Woe{H1945} unto them that are wise{H2450} in their own eyes,{H5869} and prudent{H995} in their own sight!{H6440}

Woe{H1945} unto them that are mighty{H1368} to drink{H8354} wine,{H3196} and men{H582} of strength{H2428} to mingle{H4537} strong drink;{H7941}

that justify{H6663} the wicked{H7563} for{H6118} a bribe,{H7810} and take away{H5493} the righteousness{H6666} of the righteous{H6662} from him!

Therefore as the tongue of fire{H784} devoureth{H398} the stubble,{H7179} and as the dry grass{H2842} sinketh down{H7503} in the flame,{H3956} so their root{H8328} shall be as rottenness,{H4716} and their blossom{H6525} shall go up{H5927} as dust;{H80} because they have rejected{H3988} the law{H8451} of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} and despised{H5006} the word{H565} of the Holy One{H6918} of Israel.{H3478}

Therefore is the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} kindled{H2734} against his people,{H5971} and he hath stretched forth{H5186} his hand{H3027} against them, and hath smitten{H5221} them; and the mountains{H2022} tremble,{H7264} and their dead bodies{H5038} are as refuse{H5478} in the midst{H7130} of the streets.{H2351} For all this his anger{H639} is not turned away,{H7725} but his hand{H3027} is stretched out{H5186} still.

And he will lift up{H5375} an ensign{H5251} to the nations{H1471} from far,{H7350} and will hiss{H8319} for them from the end{H7097} of the earth;{H776} and, behold, they shall come{H935} with speed{H4120} swiftly.{H7031}

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

whose arrows{H2671} are sharp,{H8150} and all their bows{H7198} bent;{H1869} their horses'{H5483} hoofs{H6541} shall be accounted{H2803} as flint,{H6862} and their wheels{H1534} as a whirlwind:{H5492}

their roaring{H7581} shall be like a lioness,{H3833} they shall roar{H7580} like young lions;{H3715} yea, they shall roar,{H5098} and lay hold{H270} of the prey,{H2964} and carry it away safe,{H6403} and there shall be none to deliver.{H5337}

And they shall roar{H5098} against them in that day{H3117} like the roaring{H5100} of the sea:{H3220} and if one look{H5027} unto the land,{H776} behold, darkness{H2822} and distress;{H6862} and the light{H216} is darkened{H2821} in the clouds{H6183} thereof.
