1 Now H4994 IJEC will I sing H7891 to my well H3039 - beloved a song H7892 of my beloved H1730 touching his vineyard H3754 . My well H3039 - beloved hath H1961 VQQ3MS a vineyard H3754 in a very fruitful hill H1121 :
2 And he fenced H5823 it , and gathered out the stones H5619 thereof , and planted H5193 it with the choicest vine H8321 , and built H1129 W-VQY3MS a tower H4026 in the midst H8432 of it , and also H1571 W-CONJ made H2672 a winepress H3342 therein : and he looked H6960 that it should bring forth H6213 W-VQY3MS grapes H6025 , and it brought forth H6213 W-VQY3MS wild grapes H891 .
3 And now H6258 W-ADV , O inhabitants H3427 VQPMS of Jerusalem H3389 , and men H376 W-NMS of Judah H3063 , judge H8199 , I pray you H4994 IJEC , between H996 W-PREP-1MS me and my vineyard H3754 .
4 What H4100 IPRO could have been done H6213 W-VQY3MS more H5750 ADV to my vineyard H3754 , that I have not H3808 W-NPAR done H6213 W-VQY3MS in it ? wherefore H4069 IPRO , when I looked H6960 that it should bring forth H6213 W-VQY3MS grapes H6025 , brought it forth H6213 W-VQY3MS wild grapes H891 ?
5 And now H6258 W-ADV go to ; I will tell H3045 you what H834 RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS will do H6213 VQPMS to my vineyard H3754 : I will take away H5493 the hedge H4881 thereof , and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS eaten up H1197 ; and break down H6555 the wall H1447 thereof , and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS trodden down H4823 :
6 And I will lay H7896 it waste H1326 : it shall not H3808 NADV be pruned H2167 , nor H3808 W-NADV digged H5737 ; but there shall come up H5927 briers H8068 and thorns H7898 : I will also command H6680 the clouds H5645 that they rain no rain H4305 upon H5921 PREP-3MS it .
7 For H3588 CONJ the vineyard H3754 of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 is the house H1004 CMS of Israel H3478 , and the men H376 W-NMS of Judah H3063 his pleasant H8191 plant H5194 : and he looked H6960 for judgment H4941 L-NMS , but behold H2009 IJEC oppression H4939 ; for righteousness H6666 , but behold H2009 IJEC a cry H6818 .
8 Woe H1945 unto them that join H5060 house H1004 to house H1004 , that lay H7126 field H7704 to field H7704 , till H5704 PREP there be no H657 place H4725 NUM-MS , that they may be placed H3427 alone H905 in the midst H7130 of the earth H776 D-GFS !
9 In mine ears H241 said the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , Of a truth H518 PART many H7227 AMP houses H1004 NMP shall be H1961 desolate H8047 , even great H1419 AMP and fair H2896 , without H369 inhabitant H3427 .
10 Yea H3588 CONJ , ten H6235 acres H6776 of vineyard H3754 shall yield H6213 one H259 MFS bath H1324 , and the seed H2233 of a homer H2563 NMS shall yield H6213 VQY3MS an ephah H374 .
11 Woe H1945 unto them that rise up early H7925 in the morning H1242 , that they may follow H7291 strong drink H7941 ; that continue H309 until night H5399 , till wine H3196 NMS inflame H1814 them !
12 And the harp H3658 , and the viol H5035 , the tabret H8596 , and pipe H2485 , and wine H3196 , are H1961 W-VQQ3MS in their feasts H4960 : but they regard H5027 not H3808 NADV the work H6467 of the LORD H3068 EDS , neither H3808 NADV consider H7200 VQQ3MP the operation H4639 of his hands H3027 CFD-3MS .
13 Therefore H3651 L-ADV my people H5971 are gone into captivity H1540 , because they have no H1097 M-NPAR knowledge H1847 NFS : and their honorable H3519 men H4962 CMP are famished H7458 NMS , and their multitude H1995 dried up H6704 with thirst H6772 .
14 Therefore H3651 L-ADV hell H7585 hath enlarged H7337 herself H5315 , and opened H6473 her mouth H6310 without H1097 L-ADV measure H2706 NMS : and their glory H1926 , and their multitude H1995 , and their pomp H7588 , and he that rejoiceth H5938 , shall descend H3381 into it .
15 And the mean man H120 NMS shall be brought down H7817 , and the mighty man H376 NMS shall be humbled H8213 , and the eyes H5869 W-CMD of the lofty H1364 shall be humbled H8213 :
16 But the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 shall be exalted H1361 in judgment H4941 B-NMS , and God H410 that is holy H6918 shall be sanctified H6942 in righteousness H6666 .
17 Then shall the lambs H3532 feed H7462 after their manner H1699 , and the waste places H2723 of the fat ones H4220 shall strangers H1481 eat H398 .
18 Woe H1945 unto them that draw H4900 iniquity H5771 with cords H2256 B-CMP of vanity H7723 , and sin H2402 as it were with a cart H5699 rope H5688 :
19 That say H559 D-VQPMP , Let him make speed H4116 , and hasten H2363 his work H4639 , that H4616 L-CONJ we may see H7200 it : and let the counsel H6098 CFS of the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 draw nigh H7126 and come H935 , that we may know H3045 it !
20 Woe H1945 unto them that call H559 D-VQPMP evil H7451 LD-AMS good H2896 AMS , and good H2896 AMS evil H7451 AMS ; that put H7760 darkness H2822 NMS for light H216 L-NMS , and light H216 W-CMS for darkness H2822 ; that put H7760 bitter H4751 AMS for sweet H4966 , and sweet H4966 for bitter H4751 AMS !
21 Woe H1945 unto them that are wise H2450 AMP in their own eyes H5869 , and prudent H995 in H5048 their own sight H6440 CMP-3MP !
22 Woe H1945 unto them that are mighty H1368 to drink H8354 wine H3196 , and men H376 of strength H2428 NMS to mingle H4537 strong drink H7941 :
23 Which justify H6663 the wicked H7563 AMS for H6118 reward H7810 , and take away H5493 the righteousness H6666 of the righteous H6662 AMP from H4480 M-PREP-3MS him !
24 Therefore H3651 L-ADV as the fire H784 CMS devoureth H398 the stubble H7179 NMS , and the flame H3852 consumeth H7503 the chaff H2842 , so their root H8328 shall be H1961 VQY3MS as rottenness H4716 , and their blossom H6525 shall go up H5927 VQY3MS as dust H80 : because H3588 CONJ they have cast away H3988 VQQ3MP the law H8451 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , and despised H5006 the word H565 of the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 .
25 Therefore H5921 PREP is the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS kindled H2734 VQQ3MS against his people H5971 B-CMS-3MS , and he hath stretched forth H5186 W-VQY3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS against H5921 PREP them , and hath smitten H5221 them : and the hills H2022 did tremble H7264 , and their carcasses H5038 were torn H1961 W-VQY3FS in the midst H7130 of the streets H2351 . For all H3605 B-CMS this H2063 DPRO his anger H639 CMS-3MS is not H3808 NADV turned away H7725 VQQ3MS , but his hand H3027 CFS-3MS is stretched out H5186 still H5750 W-ADV .
26 And he will lift up H5375 an ensign H5251 to the nations H1471 LD-NMP from far H7350 M-AMS , and will hiss H8319 unto them from the end H7097 M-CMS of the earth H776 D-GFS : and , behold H2009 IJEC , they shall come H935 VQY3MS with speed H4120 swiftly H7031 :
27 None H369 NPAR shall be weary H5889 AMS nor H369 W-NPAR stumble H3782 VQPMS among them ; none H3808 NADV shall slumber H5123 nor H3808 W-NADV sleep H3462 ; neither H3808 W-NADV shall the girdle H232 NMS of their loins H2504 be loosed H6605 , nor H3808 W-NADV the latchet H8288 of their shoes H5275 be broken H5423 :
28 Whose H834 RPRO arrows H2671 are sharp H8150 , and all H3605 W-CMS their bows H7198 bent H1869 , their horses H5483 \' hooves H6541 shall be counted H2803 like flint H6864 , and their wheels H1534 like a whirlwind H5492 :
29 Their roaring H7581 shall be like a lion H3833 , they shall roar H7580 like young lions H3715 : yea , they shall roar H5098 , and lay hold H270 W-VQY3MS of the prey H2964 , and shall carry it away safe H6403 , and none H369 W-NPAR shall deliver H5337 VHPMS it .
30 And in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS they shall roar H5098 against H5921 PREP-3MS them like the roaring H5100 of the sea H3220 NMS : and if one look H5027 unto the land H776 LD-NFS , behold H2009 IJEC darkness H2822 NMS and sorrow H6862 AMS , and the light H216 is darkened H2821 VQQ3MS in the heavens H6183 thereof .
