Isaiah 5:4-13

4What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891? 5And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823:1 6And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it. 7For the vineyardH3754 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818.23

8WoeH1945 unto them that joinH5060 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that layH7126 fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, till there be noH657 placeH4725, that they may be placedH3427 alone in the midstH7130 of the earthH776!4 9In mine earsH241 said YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427.56 10YeaH3588, tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213 oneH259 bathH1324, and the seedH2233 of an homerH2563 shall yieldH6213 an ephahH374.

11WoeH1945 unto them that rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strong drinkH7941; that continueH309 until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them!7 12And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of YhwhH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.

13Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772.8
