Isaiah 5:8-23

8WoeH1945 unto them that add houseH1004 to houseH1004, that join fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, until there is no more room, and that ye dwellH3427 yourselves aloneH905 in the midstH7130 of the landH776!

9In mine earsH241 Jehovah of hostsH6635 [hath said], ManyH7227 housesH1004 shall assuredly becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, greatH1419 and excellent ones, without inhabitantH3427.

10Yea, tenH6235 acres of vineyardH3754 shall yield oneH259 bathH1324, and a homer of seedH2233 shall yield an ephahH374.

11WoeH1945 unto them that, risingH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, run after strongH7941 drinkH7941; that linger till twilightH5399, [till] wineH3196 inflameth them!

12And harpH3658 and lyre, tambour and fluteH2485, and wineH3196 are in their banquets; but they regard not the workH4639 of Jehovah, nor do they seeH7200 the operation of his handsH3027.

13ThereforeH3651 my peopleH5971 are led away captive from lack of knowledgeH1847, and their nobility die of famineH7458, and their multitudeH1995 are parched with thirstH6772.

14ThereforeH3651 doth SheolH7585 enlargeH7337 its desireH5315, and openH7337 its mouthH6310 without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitudeH1995, and her tumultH1995, and [all] that is joyful within her.

15And the mean manH376 shall be bowedH7817 downH7817, and the great manH376 brought lowH8213, and the eyesH5869 of the lofty shall be brought lowH8213;

16and Jehovah of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and the holyH6918 1GodH410 hallowed in righteousnessH6666.

17And the lambsH3532 shall feed as on their pastureH1699, and the wasteH2723 placesH2723 of the fat ones shall strangers eatH398.

18WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH5688 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as with cart-ropes!

19who sayH559, Let him hastenH4116, let him speed his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 [it]; and let the counselH6098 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 drawH7126 nigh and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it!

20WoeH1945 unto them who call evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; who putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; who putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!

21WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and intelligent in their own esteem!

22WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 for drinkingH8354 wineH3196, and menH376 valiant to mix strongH7941 drinkH8354;

23who justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 for a bribeH7810, and turnH5493 awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from them!
