Isaiah 5:1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Now I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a rich and fertile hill.
2 He plowed the land, cleared its stones, and planted it with the best vines. In the middle he built a watchtower and carved a winepress in the nearby rocks. Then he waited for a harvest of sweet grapes, but the grapes that grew were bitter.
3 Now, you people of Jerusalem and Judah, you judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What more could I have done for my vineyard that I have not already done? When I expected sweet grapes, why did my vineyard give me bitter grapes?
5 Now let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will tear down its hedges and let it be destroyed. I will break down its walls and let the animals trample it.
6 I will make it a wild place where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed, a place overgrown with briers and thorns. I will command the clouds to drop no rain on it.
7 The nation of Israel is the vineyard of the LORD of Heaven's Armies. The people of Judah are his pleasant garden. He expected a crop of justice, but instead he found oppression. He expected to find righteousness, but instead he heard cries of violence.
8 What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field, until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land.
9 But I have heard the LORD of Heaven's Armies swear a solemn oath: "Many houses will stand deserted; even beautiful mansions will be empty.
10 Ten acres of vineyard will not produce even six gallons of wine. Ten baskets of seed will yield only one basket of grain."
11 What sorrow for those who get up early in the morning looking for a drink of alcohol and spend long evenings drinking wine to make themselves flaming drunk.
12 They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties-- lyre and harp, tambourine and flute-- but they never think about the LORD or notice what he is doing.
13 So my people will go into exile far away because they do not know me. Those who are great and honored will starve, and the common people will die of thirst.
14 The grave is licking its lips in anticipation, opening its mouth wide. The great and the lowly and all the drunken mob will be swallowed up.
15 Humanity will be destroyed, and people brought down; even the arrogant will lower their eyes in humiliation.
16 But the LORD of Heaven's Armies will be exalted by his justice. The holiness of God will be displayed by his righteousness.
17 In that day lambs will find good pastures, and fattened sheep and young goats will feed among the ruins.
18 What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!
19 They even mock God and say, "Hurry up and do something! We want to see what you can do. Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan, for we want to know what it is."
20 What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.
21 What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever.
22 What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold.
23 They take bribes to let the wicked go free, and they punish the innocent.
24 Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble and dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will rot and their flowers wither. For they have rejected the law of the LORD of Heaven's Armies; they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 That is why the LORD's anger burns against his people, and why he has raised his fist to crush them. The mountains tremble, and the corpses of his people litter the streets like garbage. But even then the LORD's anger is not satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike!
26 He will send a signal to distant nations far away and whistle to those at the ends of the earth. They will come racing toward Jerusalem.
27 They will not get tired or stumble. They will not stop for rest or sleep. Not a belt will be loose, not a sandal strap broken.
28 Their arrows will be sharp and their bows ready for battle. Sparks will fly from their horses' hooves, and the wheels of their chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
29 They will roar like lions, like the strongest of lions. Growling, they will pounce on their victims and carry them off, and no one will be there to rescue them.
30 They will roar over their victims on that day of destruction like the roaring of the sea. If someone looks across the land, only darkness and distress will be seen; even the light will be darkened by clouds.
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 .
