Isaiah 5:12-30

12Their banquetsH4960 are accompanied by lyreH3658 and 1harpH5035, by tambourineH8596 and fluteH2485, and by wineH3196; But they 2do not payH5027 attentionH5027 to the deedsH6467 of the LordH3068, NorH3808 do they considerH7200 the workH4639 of His handsH3027.

13ThereforeH3651 My peopleH5971 goH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 for their 3lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847; And their 45noblesH3519 are famishedH7458, And their multitudeH1995 is parchedH6704 with thirstH6772.14ThereforeH3651 6SheolH7585 has enlargedH7337 its 7throatH5315 and openedH6473 its mouthH6310 beyondH1097 measureH2706; And 8Jerusalem’s splendorH1926, her multitudeH1995, her noiseH7588 of revelry, and the jubilantH5938 within her, descendH3381 into it.15So the common peopleH120 will be humbledH7817 and the personH376 of importance broughtH8213 lowH8213, 9The eyesH5869 of the haughtyH1364 also will be broughtH8213 lowH8213.16But the 10LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will be 11exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, And the holyH6918 GodH410 will showH6942 Himself 12holyH6942 in righteousnessH6666.1713Then the lambsH3532 will grazeH7462 as in their pastureH1699, And strangersH1481 will eatH398 in the ruinsH2723 of the 14wealthyH4220.

18WoeH1945 to those who dragH4900 15wrongdoingH5771 with the cordsH2256 of 16deceitH7723, And sinH2403 as if with cartH5699 ropesH5688;1917Who sayH559, “Let Him hurryH4116, let Him doH2363 His workH4639 quicklyH2363, soH4616 thatH4616 we may seeH7200 it; And let the planH6098 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 approachH7126 And comeH935 to passH935, so that we may knowH3045 it!”20WoeH1945 to those who 18callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; Who 1920substituteH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216 and lightH216 for darknessH2822; Who 21substituteH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966 and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751!21WoeH1945 to those who are 22wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869 And 23cleverH995 in their own sightH5048H6440!2224WoeH1945 to those who are heroesH1368 in drinkingH8354 wineH3196, And valiantH2428 menH376 in mixingH4537 intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941,2325Who declareH6663 the wickedH7563 innocentH6663 for a bribeH7810, And 26takeH5493 awayH5493 the 27rightsH6666 of the onesH6662 who are inH6662 theH6662 rightH6662!

24ThereforeH3651, 28as a tongueH3956 of fireH784 consumesH398 stubbleH7179, And dryH2842 grassH2842 collapsesH7503 in the flameH3852, So their 29rootH8328 will becomeH1961 30like rotH4716, and their blossomH6525 31blowH5927 awayH5927 like dustH80; For they have 32rejectedH3988 the LawH8451 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, And discardedH5006 the wordH565 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.25For thisH3651 reasonH3651 the 33angerH639 of the LordH3068 has burnedH2734 against His peopleH5971, And He has stretchedH5186 outH5186 His handH3027 againstH5921 them and struckH5221 them. And the 34mountainsH2022 quakedH7264, and their 35corpsesH5038 36layH1961 like refuseH5478 in the middleH7130 of the streetsH2351. 37Despite allH3605 thisH2088, His angerH639 38isH7725 not spentH7725, But His 39handH3027 is stillH5750 stretchedH5186 outH5186.

26He will also liftH5375 upH5375 a 40flagH5251 to the distantH7350 41nationH1471, And 42whistleH8319 for it 43from the endsH7097 of the earthH776; And beholdH2009, it will 44comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031.2745NoH369 oneH369 in it is tiredH5889 or stumblesH3782, NoH3808 one slumbersH5123 or sleepsH3462; NorH3808 is the 46undergarmentH232 at his waistH2504 loosenedH6605, NorH3808 his sandalH5275 strapH8288 brokenH5423.284748Its arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150 and allH3605 its bowsH7198 are bentH1869; The hoofsH6541 of its horsesH5483 49seemH2803 like flintH6862, and its chariot 50wheelsH1534 like a stormH5492 windH5492.29Its 51roaringH7581 is like a lionessH3833, and it roarsH7580 like youngH3715 lionsH3715; It growlsH5098 as it 52seizesH270 the preyH2964 And carriesH6403 it offH6403 with 53noH369 oneH369 to saveH5337 it.30And it will 54roarH5098 againstH5921 it on that dayH3117 like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220. If one 55looksH5027 acrossH5027 to the landH776, beholdH2009, there is darknessH2822 and distressH6862; Even the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 by its cloudsH6183.
