Now will I singH7891 to my wellbelovedH3039 a songH7892 of my belovedH1730 touching his vineyardH3754. My wellbelovedH3039 hath a vineyardH3754 in a very fruitfulH1121+H8081 hillH7161: {a very…: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What 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?
And 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: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And 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.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 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. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
WoeH1945 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! {they: Heb. ye}
In mine earsH241 said the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Of a truthH3808 manyH7227 housesH1004 shall be desolateH8047, even greatH1419 and fairH2896, without inhabitantH3427. {In…: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a…: Heb. If not, etc}
YeaH3588, tenH6235 acresH6776 of vineyardH3754 shall yieldH6213 oneH259 bathH1324, and the seedH2233 of an homerH2563 shall yieldH6213 an ephahH374.
WoeH1945 unto them that rise up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that they may followH7291 strong drinkH7941; that continueH309 until nightH5399, till wineH3196 inflameH1814 them! {inflame: of, pursue}
And the harpH3658, and the violH5035, the tabretH8596, and pipeH2485, and wineH3196, are in their feastsH4960: but they regardH5027 not the workH6467 of the LORDH3068, neither considerH7200 the operationH4639 of his handsH3027.
Therefore my peopleH5971 are gone into captivityH1540, because they have no knowledgeH1847: and their honourableH3519 menH4962 are famishedH7458, and their multitudeH1995 dried upH6704 with thirstH6772. {honourable…: Heb. glory are men of famine}
Therefore 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.
And the mean manH120 shall be brought downH7817, and the mighty manH376 shall be humbledH8213, and the eyesH5869 of the loftyH1364 shall be humbledH8213:
But the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be exaltedH1361 in judgmentH4941, and GodH410 that is holyH6918 shall be sanctifiedH6942 in righteousnessH6666. {God…: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}
Then shall the lambsH3532 feedH7462 after their mannerH1699, and the waste placesH2723 of the fat onesH4220 shall strangersH1481 eatH398.
WoeH1945 unto them that drawH4900 iniquityH5771 with cordsH2256 of vanityH7723, and sinH2403 as it were with a cartH5699 ropeH5688:
That sayH559, Let him make speedH4116, and hastenH2363 his workH4639, that we may seeH7200 it: and let the counselH6098 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 draw nighH7126 and comeH935, that we may knowH3045 it!
WoeH1945 unto them that callH559 evilH7451 goodH2896, and goodH2896 evilH7451; that putH7760 darknessH2822 for lightH216, and lightH216 for darknessH2822; that putH7760 bitterH4751 for sweetH4966, and sweetH4966 for bitterH4751! {call…: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}
WoeH1945 unto them that are wiseH2450 in their own eyesH5869, and prudentH995 in their own sightH6440! {in their own sight: Heb. before their face}
WoeH1945 unto them that are mightyH1368 to drinkH8354 wineH3196, and menH582 of strengthH2428 to mingleH4537 strong drinkH7941:
Which justifyH6663 the wickedH7563 forH6118 rewardH7810, and take awayH5493 the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 from him!
Therefore as the fireH784 devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, and the flameH3956+H3852 consumethH7503 the chaffH2842, so their rootH8328 shall be as rottennessH4716, and their blossomH6525 shall go upH5927 as dustH80: because they have cast awayH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and despisedH5006 the wordH565 of the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
Therefore is the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 against them, and hath smittenH5221 them: and the hillsH2022 did trembleH7264, and their carcasesH5038 were tornH5478 in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched outH5186 still. {torn: or, as dung}
And he will lift upH5375 an ensignH5251 to the nationsH1471 from farH7350, and will hissH8319 unto them from the endH7097 of the earthH776: and, behold, they shall comeH935 with speedH4120 swiftlyH7031:
None shall be wearyH5889 nor stumbleH3782 among them; none shall slumberH5123 nor sleepH3462; neither shall the girdleH232 of their loinsH2504 be loosedH6605, nor the latchetH8288 of their shoesH5275 be brokenH5423:
Whose arrowsH2671 are sharpH8150, and all their bowsH7198 bentH1869, their horses'H5483 hoofsH6541 shall be countedH2803 like flintH6862, and their wheelsH1534 like a whirlwindH5492:
Their roaringH7581 shall be like a lionH3833, they shall roarH7580+H7580 like young lionsH3715: yea, they shall roarH5098, and lay holdH270 of the preyH2964, and shall carry it away safeH6403, and none shall deliverH5337 it.
And in that dayH3117 they shall roarH5098 against them like the roaringH5100 of the seaH3220: and if one lookH5027 unto the landH776, behold darknessH2822 and sorrowH6862, and the lightH216 is darkenedH2821 in the heavensH6183 thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light…: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}

Behold, they shall be as stubbleH7179; the fireH784 shall burnH8313 them; they shall not deliverH5337 themselvesH5315 from the powerH3027 of the flameH3852: there shall not be a coalH1513 to warmH2552 at, nor fireH217 to sitH3427 before it. {themselves: Heb. their souls}
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 the garnerG596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
Therefore the LORDH3068 will cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478 headH7218 and tailH2180, branchH3712 and rushH100, in oneH259 dayH3117.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
For the leadersH833 of this peopleH5971 cause them to errH8582; and they that are ledH833 of them are destroyedH1104. {the leaders: or, they that call them blessed} {led of: or, called blessed of} {destroyed: Heb. swallowed up}
Therefore the LordH136 shall have no joyH8055 in their young menH970, neither shall have mercyH7355 on their fatherlessH3490 and widowsH490: for every one is an hypocriteH2611 and an evildoerH7489, and every mouthH6310 speakethH1696 follyH5039. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186. {folly: or, villany}
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
Wherefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and stayH8172 thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
And in the greatnessH7230 of thine excellencyH1347 thou hast overthrownH2040 them that rose up againstH6965 thee: thou sentest forthH7971 thy wrathH2740, which consumedH398 them as stubbleH7179.
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 hisG846 garnerG596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762.
His rootsH8328 shall be dried upH3001 beneath, and aboveH4605 shall his branchH7105 be cut offH5243.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.
EphraimH669 is smittenH5221, their rootH8328 is dried upH3001, they shall bearH6213 no fruitH6529: yea, though they bring forthH3205, yet will I slayH4191 even the belovedH4261 fruit of their wombH990. {the…: Heb. the desires}
Notwithstanding they would not hearH8085, but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, like to the neckH6203 of their fathersH1, that did not believeH539 in the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
For while they be folden togetherH5440 as thornsH5518, and while they are drunkenH5433 as drunkardsH5435, they shall be devouredH398 as stubbleH7179 fullyH4392 dryH3002.
Yet destroyedH8045 I the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whose heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from aboveH4605, and his rootsH8328 from beneath.
And they rejectedH3988 his statutesH2706, and his covenantH1285 that he madeH3772 with their fathersH1, and his testimoniesH5715 which he testifiedH5749 against them; and they followedH3212+H310 vanityH1892, and became vainH1891, and went afterH310 the heathenH1471 that were round aboutH5439 them, concerning whom the LORDH3068 had chargedH6680 them, that they should not doH6213 like them.
He that hearethG191 youG5216 hearethG191 meG1700; andG2532 he that despisethG114 youG5209 despisethG114 meG1691; andG1161 he that despisethG114 meG1691 despisethG114 him that sentG649 meG3165.
For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
BeholdG1492, ye despisersG2707, andG2532 wonderG2296, andG2532 perishG853: forG3754 IG1473 workG2038 a workG2041 inG1722 yourG5216 daysG2250, a workG2041 whichG3739 ye shallG4100 in no wiseG3364 believeG4100, thoughG1437 a manG5100 declare itG1555 unto youG5213.

Every man'sG1538 workG2041 shall be madeG1096 manifestG5318: forG1063 the dayG2250 shall declareG1213 it, becauseG3754 it shall be revealedG601 byG1722 fireG4442; andG2532 the fireG4442 shall tryG1381 every man'sG1538 workG2041 of what sortG3697 it isG2076. {it shall be: Gr. it is}
HearH8085, O earthH776: behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this peopleH5971, even the fruitH6529 of their thoughtsH4284, because they have not hearkenedH7181 unto my wordsH1697, nor to my lawH8451, but rejectedH3988 it.
The wiseH2450 men are ashamedH3001, they are dismayedH2865 and takenH3920: lo, they have rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; and what wisdomH2451 is in them? {The wise…: or, Have they been ashamed, etc} {what…: Heb. the wisdom of what thing}

Of how muchG4214 sorerG5501 punishmentG5098, suppose yeG1380, shall he be thought worthyG515, whoG3588 hath trodden under footG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, andG2532 hath countedG2233 the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242, wherewithG3739+G1722 he was sanctifiedG37, an unholy thingG2839, andG2532 hath done despiteG1796 unto the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485?
