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}
WoeH1945 unto them that decreeH2710 unrighteousH205 decreesH2711, and that writeH3789 grievousnessH5999 which they have prescribedH3789; {that write…: or, to the writers that write grievousness}
To turn asideH5186 the needyH1800 from judgmentH1779, and to take awayH1497 the rightH4941 from the poorH6041 of my peopleH5971, that widowsH490 may be their preyH7998, and that they may robH962 the fatherlessH3490!
And what will ye doH6213 in the dayH3117 of visitationH6486, and in the desolationH7722 which shall comeH935 from farH4801? to whom will ye fleeH5127 for helpH5833? and where will ye leaveH5800 your gloryH3519?
Without me they shallH1115 bow downH3766 under the prisonersH616, and they shall fallH5307 under the slainH2026. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched out stillH5186.
OH1945 AssyrianH804, the rodH7626 of mine angerH639, and the staffH4294 in their handH3027 is mine indignationH2195. {O…: or, Woe to the Assyrian: Heb. Asshur} {and: or, though}
I will sendH7971 him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680, to takeH7997 the spoilH7998, and to takeH962 the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760+H4823 like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. {tread…: Heb. lay them a treading}
Howbeit he meanethH1819 not so, neither doth his heartH3824 thinkH2803 so; but it is in his heartH3824 to destroyH8045 and cut offH3772 nationsH1471 not a fewH4592.
For he saithH559, Are not my princesH8269 altogetherH3162 kingsH4428?
Is not CalnoH3641 as CarchemishH3751? is not HamathH2574 as ArpadH774? is not SamariaH8111 as DamascusH1834?
As my handH3027 hath foundH4672 the kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, and whose graven imagesH6456 did excel them of JerusalemH3389 and of SamariaH8111;
Shall I not, as I have doneH6213 unto SamariaH8111 and her idolsH457, so doH6213 to JerusalemH3389 and her idolsH6091?
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the LordH136 hath performedH1214 his whole workH4639 upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 and on JerusalemH3389, I will punishH6485 the fruitH6529 of the stoutH1433 heartH3824 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the gloryH8597 of his highH7312 looksH5869. {punish: Heb. visit upon} {stout…: Heb. greatness of the heart}
For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6259+H6264, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH47+H3524 man: {a valiant…: or, many people}
And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore shall the LordH113, the LordH136+H3068 of hostsH6635, sendH7971 among his fat onesH4924 leannessH7332; and under his gloryH3519 he shall kindleH3344 a burningH3350 like the burning of a fireH784.
And the lightH216 of IsraelH3478 shall be for a fireH784, and his Holy OneH6918 for a flameH3852: and it shall burnH1197 and devourH398 his thornsH7898 and his briersH8068 in oneH259 dayH3117;
And shall consumeH3615 the gloryH3519 of his forestH3293, and of his fruitful fieldH3759, both soulH5315 and bodyH1320: and they shall be as when a standardbearerH5263 faintethH4549. {both…: Heb. from the soul, and even to the flesh}
And the restH7605 of the treesH6086 of his forestH3293 shall be fewH4557, that a childH5288 may writeH3789 them. {few: Heb. number}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that the remnantH7605 of IsraelH3478, and such as are escapedH6413 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, shall no more againH3254 stayH8172 upon him that smoteH5221 them; but shall stayH8172 upon the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, in truthH571.
The remnantH7605 shall returnH7725, even the remnantH7605 of JacobH3290, unto the mightyH1368 GodH410.
For though thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, yet a remnantH7605 of them shall returnH7725: the consumptionH3631 decreedH2782 shall overflowH7857 with righteousnessH6666. {of them: Heb. in, or, among, etc} {with: or, in}
For the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 shall makeH6213 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782, in the midstH7130 of all the landH776.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, O my peopleH5971 that dwellestH3427 in ZionH6726, be not afraidH3372 of the AssyrianH804: he shall smiteH5221 thee with a rodH7626, and shall lift upH5375 his staffH4294 against thee, after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714. {and shall…: or, but he shall lift up his staff for}
For yet a veryH4213 little whileH4592, and the indignationH2195 shall ceaseH3615, and mine angerH639 in their destructionH8399.
And the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall stir upH5782 a scourgeH7752 for him according to the slaughterH4347 of MidianH4080 at the rockH6697 of OrebH6159: and as his rodH4294 was upon the seaH3220, so shall he lift it upH5375 after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that his burdenH5448 shall be taken awayH5493 from off thy shoulderH7926, and his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677, and the yokeH5923 shall be destroyedH2254 becauseH6440 of the anointingH8081. {be taken…: Heb. remove}
He is comeH935 to AiathH5857, he is passedH5674 to MigronH4051; at MichmashH4363 he hath laid upH6485 his carriagesH3627:
They are gone overH5674 the passageH4569: they have taken up their lodgingH4411 at GebaH1387; RamahH7414 is afraidH2729; GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586 is fledH5127.
Lift upH6670 thy voiceH6963, O daughterH1323 ofH1530 GallimH1554: cause it to be heardH7181 unto LaishH3919, O poorH6041 AnathothH6068. {Lift…: Heb. Cry shrill with}
MadmenahH4088 is removedH5074; the inhabitantsH3427 of GebimH1374 gather themselves to fleeH5756.
As yet shall he remainH5975 at NobH5011 that dayH3117: he shall shakeH5130 his handH3027 against the mountH2022 of the daughterH1323+H1004 of ZionH6726, the hillH1389 of JerusalemH3389.
Behold, the LordH113, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall lopH5586 the boughH6288 with terrorH4637: and the high onesH7311 of statureH6967 shall be hewn downH1438, and the haughtyH1364 shall be humbledH8213.
And he shall cut downH5362 the thicketsH5442 of the forestH3293 with ironH1270, and LebanonH3844 shall fallH5307 by a mighty oneH117. {by…: or, mightily}
For the LORDH3068 will have mercyH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangersH1616 shall be joinedH3867 with them, and they shall cleaveH5596 to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.
And the peopleH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and handmaidsH8198: and they shall take them captivesH7617, whose captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065. {whose…: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall give thee restH5117 from thy sorrowH6090, and from thy fearH7267, and from the hardH7186 bondageH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647,
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440.
Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no fellerH3772 is come upH5927 against us.
HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief…: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 unto us?
Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee.
How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
That I will breakH7665 the AssyrianH804 in my landH776, and upon my mountainsH2022 tread him under footH947: then shall his yokeH5923 departH5493 from off them, and his burdenH5448 departH5493 from off their shouldersH7926.
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289, and who shall disannulH6565 it? and his handH3027 is stretched outH5186, and who shall turn it backH7725?
