Isaiah 5:21 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Let me sing for my beloved a love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
2 He digged it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4 What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?
5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry!
8 Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, until there is no more room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land.
9 The LORD of hosts has sworn in my hearing: "Surely many houses shall be desolate, large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah."
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening till wine inflames them!
12 They have lyre and harp, timbrel and flute and wine at their feasts; but they do not regard the deeds of the LORD, or see the work of his hands.
13 Therefore my people go into exile for want of knowledge; their honored men are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure, and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude go down, her throng and he who exults in her.
15 Man is bowed down, and men are brought low, and the eyes of the haughty are humbled.
16 But the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice, and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
17 Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture, fatlings and kids shall feed among the ruins.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes,
19 who say: "Let him make haste, let him speed his work that we may see it; let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near, and let it come, that we may know it!"
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe, and deprive the innocent of his right!
24 Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust; for they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and smote them, and the mountains quaked; and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away and his hand is stretched out still.
26 He will raise a signal for a nation afar off, and whistle for it from the ends of the earth; and lo, swiftly, speedily it comes!
27 None is weary, none stumbles, none slumbers or sleeps, not a waistcloth is loose, not a sandal-thong broken;
28 their arrows are sharp, all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion, like young lions they roar; they growl and seize their prey, they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it on that day, like the roaring of the sea. And if one look to the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by its clouds.
1 Now H4994 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 a vineyard H3754 in a very fruitful hill H1121 H8081: H7161
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 a tower H4026 in the midst H8432 of it , and also H1571 made H2672 a winepress H3342 therein : and he looked H6960 that it should bring forth H6213 grapes, H6025 and it brought forth H6213 wild grapes. H891
3 And now, H6258 O inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 and men H376 of Judah, H3063 judge, H8199 I pray you, H4994 between H996 me and my vineyard. H3754
4 What H4100 could have been done H6213 more H5750 to my vineyard, H3754 that I have not H3808 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 ?
5 And now H6258 go to ; I will tell H3045 H4994 you H853 what H834 I H589 will do H6213 to my vineyard: H3754 I will take away H5493 the hedge H4881 thereof , and it shall be H1961 eaten up; H1197 and break down H6555 the wall H1447 thereof , and it shall be H1961 trodden down: H4823
6 And I will lay H7896 it waste: H1326 it shall not H3808 be pruned, H2167 nor H3808 digged; H5737 but there shall come up H5927 briers H8068 and thorns: H7898 I will also command H6680 H5921 the clouds H5645 that they rain no rain H4480 H4305 H4306 upon H5921 it.
7 For H3588 the vineyard H3754 of the LORD 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 judgment, H4941 but behold H2009 oppression; H4939 for righteousness, H6666 but behold H2009 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 there be no H657 place, H4725 that they may be placed H3427 alone H905 in the midst H7130 of the earth H776 !
9 In mine ears H241 said the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Of a truth H518 H3808 many H7227 houses H1004 shall be H1961 desolate, H8047 even great H1419 and fair, H2896 without H4480 H369 inhabitant. H3427
10 Yea H3588 , ten H6235 acres H6776 of vineyard H3754 shall yield H6213 one H259 bath, H1324 and the seed H2233 of a homer H2563 shall yield H6213 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 inflame H1814 them!
12 And the harp, H3658 and the viol, H5035 the tabret, H8596 and pipe, H2485 and wine, H3196 are H1961 in their feasts: H4960 but they regard H5027 not H3808 the work H6467 of the LORD, H3068 neither H3808 consider H7200 the operation H4639 of his hands. H3027
13 Therefore H3651 my people H5971 are gone into captivity, H1540 because they have no H4480 H1097 knowledge: H1847 and their honorable H3519 men H4962 are famished, H7458 and their multitude H1995 dried up H6704 with thirst. H6772
14 Therefore H3651 hell H7585 hath enlarged H7337 herself, H5315 and opened H6473 her mouth H6310 without H1097 measure: H2706 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 shall be brought down, H7817 and the mighty man H376 shall be humbled, H8213 and the eyes H5869 of the lofty H1364 shall be humbled: H8213
16 But the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 shall be exalted H1361 in judgment, H4941 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 of vanity, H7723 and sin H2402 as it were with a cart H5699 rope: H5688
19 That say, H559 Let him make speed, H4116 and hasten H2363 his work, H4639 that H4616 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 !
20 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 !
21 Woe H1945 unto them that are wise H2450 in their own eyes, H5869 and prudent H995 in H5048 their own sight H6440 !
22 Woe H1945 unto them that are mighty H1368 to drink H8354 wine, H3196 and men H376 of strength H2428 to mingle H4537 strong drink: H7941
23 Which justify H6663 the wicked H7563 for H6118 reward, H7810 and take away H5493 the righteousness H6666 of the righteous H6662 from H4480 him!
24 Therefore H3651 as the fire H784 devoureth H398 the stubble, H7179 and the flame H3852 consumeth H7503 the chaff, H2842 so their root H8328 shall be H1961 as rottenness, H4716 and their blossom H6525 shall go up H5927 as dust: H80 because H3588 they have cast away H3988 H853 the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 and despised H5006 the word H565 of the Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478
25 Therefore H5921 H3651 is the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 kindled H2734 against his people, H5971 and he hath stretched forth H5186 his hand H3027 against H5921 them , and hath smitten H5221 them : and the hills H2022 did tremble, H7264 and their carcasses H5038 were torn H1961 H5478 in the midst H7130 of the streets. H2351 For all H3605 this H2063 his anger H639 is not H3808 turned away, H7725 but his hand H3027 is stretched out H5186 still. H5750
26 And he will lift up H5375 an ensign H5251 to the nations H1471 from far H4480 H7350 , and will hiss H8319 unto them from the end H4480 H7097 of the earth: H776 and, behold, H2009 they shall come H935 with speed H4120 swiftly: H7031
27 None H369 shall be weary H5889 nor H369 stumble H3782 among them; none H3808 shall slumber H5123 nor H3808 sleep; H3462 neither H3808 shall the girdle H232 of their loins H2504 be loosed, H6605 nor H3808 the latchet H8288 of their shoes H5275 be broken: H5423
28 Whose H834 arrows H2671 are sharp, H8150 and all H3605 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 of the prey, H2964 and shall carry it away safe, H6403 and none H369 shall deliver H5337 it .
30 And in that H1931 day H3117 they shall roar H5098 against H5921 them like the roaring H5100 of the sea: H3220 and if one look H5027 unto the land, H776 behold H2009 darkness H2822 and sorrow, H6862 and the light H216 is darkened H2821 in the heavens H6183 thereof.
