Isaiah 5:7-17

7For the 1vineyardH3754 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, And the peopleH376 of JudahH3063 are His delightfulH8191 plantH5194. So He waitedH6960 for justiceH4941, but beholdH2009, there was 2bloodshedH4939; For righteousnessH6666, but beholdH2009, a cryH6818 forH6818 helpH6818.

8WoeH1945 to those who 3attachH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004 and joinH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, UntilH5704 there is noH657 moreH657 roomH4725, And you aloneH905 are a landownerH3427 in the midstH7130 of the landH776!9In my earsH241 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has sworn, “4ManyH7227 housesH1004 shall certainlyH518H3808 becomeH1961 5desolateH8047, Even greatH1419 and fineH2896 onesH2896, withoutH369 occupantsH3427.10For 6tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 will yieldH6213 only oneH259 7bathH1324 of wine, And a 89homerH2563 of seedH2233 will yieldH6213 only an 10ephahH374 of grain.”11WoeH1945 to those who riseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 so that they may pursueH7291 11intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941, Who stayH309 upH309 lateH309 in the eveningH5399 so that wineH3196 may inflameH1814 them!12Their banquetsH4960 are accompanied by lyreH3658 and 12harpH5035, by tambourineH8596 and fluteH2485, and by wineH3196; But they 13do 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 14lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847; And their 1516noblesH3519 are famishedH7458, And their multitudeH1995 is parchedH6704 with thirstH6772.14ThereforeH3651 17SheolH7585 has enlargedH7337 its 18throatH5315 and openedH6473 its mouthH6310 beyondH1097 measureH2706; And 19Jerusalem’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, 20The eyesH5869 of the haughtyH1364 also will be broughtH8213 lowH8213.16But the 21LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will be 22exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, And the holyH6918 GodH410 will showH6942 Himself 23holyH6942 in righteousnessH6666.1724Then the lambsH3532 will grazeH7462 as in their pastureH1699, And strangersH1481 will eatH398 in the ruinsH2723 of the 25wealthyH4220.
