Isaiah 5:7-17

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 cryH6818.12

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!3 9In mine earsH241 said YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427.45 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!6 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 thirstH6772.7 14Therefore hellH7585 hath enlargedH7337 herselfH5315, and openedH6473 her mouthH6310 without measureH2706: and their gloryH1926, and their multitudeH1995, and their pompH7588, and he that rejoicethH5938, shall descendH3381 into it. 15And the mean manH120 shall be brought downH7817, and the mighty manH376 shall be humbledH8213, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 shall be humbledH8213: 16But YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 shall be exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666.8 17Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH7462 after their mannerH1699, and the waste placesH2723 of the fat onesH4220 shall strangersH1481 eatH398.
