Isaiah 5:7-17

7For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasant plantH5194: and he lookedH2009 for judgmentH4941, but beholdH2009 oppression; for righteousnessH6666, but beholdH2009 a cryH6818.

8WoeH1945 unto them that joinH7126 houseH1004 to houseH1004, that lay fieldH7704 to fieldH7704, tillH5704 there be noH657 roomH1004, and ye be madeH7126 to dwellH3427 aloneH905 in the midstH7130 of the landH776!

9In mine earsH241 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Of a truth manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, evenH3808 greatH1419 and fair, withoutH3808 inhabitantH3427.

10For tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213 one bathH1324, and a homer of seedH2233 shall yieldH6213 but an ephahH374.

11WoeH1945 unto them that riseH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strongH7941 drinkH7941; that tarryH309 lateH309 into the night, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them!

12And the harpH3658 and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wineH3196, are in their feasts: but they regardH7200 notH3808 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068, neitherH3808 have they consideredH7200 the operation of his handsH3027.

13Therefore my peopleH5971 are goneH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540, for lackH1097 of knowledgeH1847: and their honourable menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 are parchedH6704 with thirstH6772.

14Therefore hell hath enlargedH7337 herH3381 desireH5315, and openedH6473 herH3381 mouthH6310 withoutH1097 measureH2706: and their glory, and their multitudeH1995, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descendH3381 intoH3381 it.

15And the mean manH376 is bowedH7817 downH7817, and the great manH376 is humbledH7817, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 are humbledH7817:

16but the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 the HolyH6918 One is sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666.

17Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH398 as in their pastureH1699, and the wasteH2723 placesH2723 of the fatH4220 ones shall wanderers eatH398.
