Isaiah 5

5
1Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching His vineyard. My well-beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2And He fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress in it: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3And now, O inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
4What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? For what more could be done that, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5And now go forth; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; [and] break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trampled down:
6And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor excavated; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7For the vineyard of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold a cry (of distress).
8Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay field to field, till [there be] no more room, that they may live alone in the midst of the earth!
9In my ears [said] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], Of a tmany houses shall be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant.
10Yes, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an half a bushel.
11Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, [that] they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine inflame them!
12And the harp, and the lyre, the tambourine, and flute, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), neither consider the operation of His hands.
13Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because [they have] no knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it.
15And the common man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the proud shall be humbled:
16But the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] shall be exalted in justice, and God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19That say, Lets him make speed, [and] hasten His work, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] draw near and come, that we may know [it]!
20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight!
22Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23Which justify the wicked for bribe, and take away the rights of those who are right! (deny justice to the righteous!)
24Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, [so] their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], and despised the word of the Holy One of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
25Therefore is the anger of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses [were] torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
26And he will lift up an flag (or banner; as of an army) to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the belt of their waist be loosed, nor the sandal lace of their shoes be broken:
28Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29Their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yes, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it].
30And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if [one] look unto the land, behold darkness [and] sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
