RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
Thou hast plantedH5193 them, yea, they have taken rootH8327: they growH3212, yea, they bring forthH6213 fruitH6529: thou art nearH7138 in their mouthH6310, and far fromH7350 their reinsH3629. {they grow: Heb. they go on}
But thou, O LORDH3068, knowestH3045 me: thou hast seenH7200 me, and triedH974 mine heartH3820 toward thee: pull them outH5423 like sheepH6629 for the slaughterH2878, and prepareH6942 them for the dayH3117 of slaughterH2028. {toward…: Heb. with thee}
How long shall the landH776 mournH56, and the herbsH6212 of every fieldH7704 witherH3001, for the wickednessH7451 of them that dwellH3427 therein? the beastsH929 are consumedH5595, and the birdsH5775; because they saidH559, He shall not seeH7200 our last endH319.
If thou hast runH7323 with the footmenH7273, and they have weariedH3811 thee, then how canst thou contendH8474 with horsesH5483? and if in the landH776 of peaceH7965, wherein thou trustedstH982, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou doH6213 in the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383?
For even thy brethrenH251, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, even they have dealt treacherouslyH898 with thee; yea, they have calledH7121 a multitudeH4392 afterH310 thee: believeH539 them not, though they speakH1696 fair wordsH2896 unto thee. {they have called…: or, they cried after thee fully} {fair…: Heb. good things}
I have forsakenH5800 mine houseH1004, I have leftH5203 mine heritageH5159; I have givenH5414 the dearly belovedH3033 of my soulH5315 into the handH3709 of her enemiesH341. {the dearly…: Heb. the love}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a lionH738 in the forestH3293; it crieth outH5414+H6963 against me: therefore have I hatedH8130 it. {crieth…: or, yelleth: Heb. giveth out his voice}
Mine heritageH5159 is unto me as a speckledH6641 birdH5861, the birdsH5861 round aboutH5439 are against her; comeH3212 ye, assembleH622 all the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, comeH857 to devourH402. {speckled: or, taloned} {come to: or, cause them to come to}
ManyH7227 pastorsH7462 have destroyedH7843 my vineyardH3754, they have troddenH947 my portionH2513 under footH947, they have madeH5414 my pleasantH2532 portionH2513 a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057. {pleasant…: Heb. portion of desire}
They have madeH7760 it desolateH8076, and being desolateH8077 it mournethH56 unto me; the whole landH776 is made desolateH8074, because no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820.
The spoilersH7703 are comeH935 upon all high placesH8205 through the wildernessH4057: for the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 shall devourH398 from the one endH7097 of the landH776 even to the other endH7097 of the landH776: no fleshH1320 shall have peaceH7965.
They have sownH2232 wheatH2406, but shall reapH7114 thornsH6975: they have put themselves to painH2470, but shall not profitH3276: and they shall be ashamedH954 of your revenuesH8393 because of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. {they shall: or, ye shall}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 against all mine evilH7451 neighboursH7934, that touchH5060 the inheritanceH5159 which I have caused my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to inheritH5157; Behold, I will pluck them outH5428 of their landH127, and pluck outH5428 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 from amongH8432 them.
And it shall come to pass, afterH310 that I have plucked them outH5428 I will returnH7725, and have compassionH7355 on them, and will bring them againH7725, every manH376 to his heritageH5159, and every manH376 to his landH776.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligentlyH3925 learnH3925 the waysH1870 of my peopleH5971, to swearH7650 by my nameH8034, The LORDH3068 livethH2416; as they taughtH3925 my peopleH5971 to swearH7650 by BaalH1168; then shall they be builtH1129 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971.
But if they will not obeyH8085, I will utterlyH5428 pluck upH5428 and destroyH6 that nationH1471, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

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}

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}
The peopleH5971 of thy holinessH6944 have possessedH3423 it but a little whileH4705: our adversariesH6862 have trodden downH947 thy sanctuaryH4720.
And all the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 came inH935, and satH3427 in the middleH8432 gateH8179, even NergalsharezerH5371, SamgarneboH5562, SarsechimH8310, RabsarisH7249, NergalsharezerH5371, RabmagH7248, with all the residueH7611 of the princesH8269 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
ThenG1161 began heG756 to speakG3004 toG4314 the peopleG2992 thisG5026 parableG3850; A certainG5100 manG444 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 forthG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589 for a longG2425 timeG5550.
AndG2532 atG1722 the seasonG2540 he sentG649 a servantG1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG1092, thatG2443 they should giveG1325 himG846 ofG575 the fruitG2590 of the vineyardG290: butG1161 the husbandmenG1092 beatG1194 himG846, and sent him awayG1821 emptyG2756.
AndG2532 againG4369 he sentG3992 anotherG2087 servantG1401: andG1161 they beatG1194 him alsoG2548, andG2532 entreated him shamefullyG818, and sent him awayG1821 emptyG2756.
AndG2532 againG4369 he sentG3992 a thirdG5154: andG1161 they woundedG5135 himG5126 alsoG2532, and cast him outG1544.
ThenG1161 saidG2036 the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? I will sendG3992 myG3450 belovedG27 sonG5207: it may beG2481 they will reverenceG1788 him when they seeG1492 himG5126.
ButG1161 when the husbandmenG1092 sawG1492 himG846, they reasonedG1260 amongG4314 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 the heirG2818: comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, thatG2443 the inheritanceG2817 may beG1096 oursG2257.
SoG2532 they castG1544 himG846 out ofG1854 the vineyardG290, and killedG615 him. WhatG5101 thereforeG3767 shallG4160 the lordG2962 of the vineyardG290 doG4160 unto themG846?
He shall comeG2064 andG2532 destroyG622 theseG5128 husbandmenG1092, andG2532 shall giveG1325 the vineyardG290 to othersG243. AndG1161 when they heardG191 it, they saidG2036, God forbidG3361+G1096.
The adversaryH6862 hath spread outH6566 his handH3027 upon all her pleasant thingsH4261: for she hath seenH7200 that the heathenH1471 enteredH935 into her sanctuaryH4720, whom thou didst commandH6680 that they should not enterH935 into thy congregationH6951. {pleasant: or, desirable}
All her peopleH5971 sighH584, they seekH1245 breadH3899; they have givenH5414 their pleasant thingsH4261+H4262 for meatH400 to relieveH7725 the soulH5315: seeH7200, O LORDH3068, and considerH5027; for I am become vileH2151. {to…: or, to make the soul to come again}
SettleG5087 it thereforeG3767 inG1519 yourG5216 heartsG2588, notG3361 to meditate beforeG4304 what ye shall answerG626:
ButG2532 the courtG833 whichG3588 is withoutG1855+G2081 the templeG3485 leaveG1544 outG1854, andG2532 measureG3354 itG846 notG3361; forG3754 it is givenG1325 unto the GentilesG1484: andG2532 the holyG40 cityG4172 shall they tread under footG3961 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {leave out: Gr. cast out}
