Isa Isaiah, chapter Book of Isaiah, chapter 5
Now let me sing for my Beloved, || A song of my Beloved as to His vineyard: My beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful hill, Jer 2:21; Mat 21:33; Mrk 12:1; Luk 20:9And He fences it, and casts out its stones, || And plants it [with] a choice vine, || And builds a tower in its midst, || And has also hewn out a winepress in it, || And He waits for the yielding of grapes, || And it yields bad ones! Jer 8:13And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, || Please judge between Me and My vineyard. What [is there] to do still to My vineyard, || That I have not done in it? For what reason have I waited for the yielding of grapes, || And it yields [only] bad ones? And now, pray, let Me cause yöu to know, || That which I am doing to My vineyard, || To turn its hedge aside, || And it has been for consumption, || To break down its wall, || And it has been for a treading-place. Psa 80:12; Ezr 9:9; Hos 2:12And I make it a waste, || It is not pruned, nor arranged, || And brier and thorn have gone up, || And I lay a charge on the thick clouds, || From raining on it rain. Isa 1:30; Zec 14:17Because the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts || [Is] the house of Israel, || And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, || And He waits for judgment, and behold, oppression, || For righteousness, and behold, a cry. Psa 80:15Woe [to] those joining house to house, || They bring field near to field, || Until there is no place, || And yöu have been settled by yourselves || In the midst of the land! Mic 2:2Do many houses not become a desolation by the weapons of YHWH of Hosts? Great and good without inhabitant! For ten acres of vineyard yield one bath, || And a homer of seed yields an ephah. Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, || They pursue strong drink! Lingering in twilight, wine inflames them! Pro 23:30; Ecc 10:16; Luk 6:25And harp, and stringed instrument, tambourine, and pipe, || And wine, have been their banquets, || And they do not behold the work of YHWH, || Indeed, they have not seen the work of His hands. Isa 28:7; Amo 6:5Therefore my people removed without knowledge, || And its honorable ones are famished, || And its multitude dried up of thirst. Therefore Sheol has enlarged herself, || And has opened her mouth without limit. And its honor has gone down, and its multitude, || And its noise, and its exulting one—into her. Isa 30:33And the low is bowed down, and the high humbled, || And the eyes of the haughty become low, Isa 2:11And YHWH of Hosts is high in judgment, || And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness, And lambs have fed according to their leading, || And sojourners consume wastelands of the fat ones. Isa 14:30Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, || And as [with] thick ropes of the cart—sin. Pro 5:22; Mic 7:3Who are saying, “Let Him hurry, || Let Him hurry His work, that we may see, || And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel || Draw near and come, and we know.” Jer 17:15; Amo 5:18; 2Pe 3:4Woe [to] those saying to evil “good,” and to good “evil,” || Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, || Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. 2Ki 17:9; Amo 6:12Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, || And—before their own faces—intelligent! Pro 3:7; Rom 12:16Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, || And men of strength to mingle strong drink. Pro 31:4Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, || And the righteousness of the righteous || They turn aside from him. Pro 17:15Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble, || And flaming hay falls, || Their root is as muck, || And their flower goes up as dust. Because they have rejected the Law of YHWH of Hosts, || And despised the saying of the Holy One of Israel. Isa 9:18Therefore the anger of YHWH has burned among His people, || And He stretches out His hand against it, || And strikes it, and the mountains tremble, || And their carcass is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, || And still His hand is stretched out! Isa 9:12; Isa 10:6And He lifted up an ensign to the far-off nations, || And hissed to it from the end of the earth, || And behold, with haste, it comes swiftly. Lev 26:25; Isa 13:2There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, || It does not slumber, nor sleep, || Nor has the girdle of its loins been opened, || Nor the strap of its sandals drawn away. Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, || Hooves of its horses have been reckoned as flint, || And its wheels as a windstorm! Jer 4:13Its roaring [is] like a lioness, || It roars like young lions, || And it howls, and seizes prey, || And carries away safely, and there is none delivering. Job 4:10; Jer 2:15; Jer 4:7; Ezk 32:2And it howls against it in that day as the howling of a sea, || And it has looked attentively to the land, || And behold, darkness—distress, || And light has been darkened by its abundance!Job 18:5; Isa 8:22
