Dual Panel1Now will I sing <07891> (8799) to my wellbeloved <03039> a song <07892> of my beloved <01730> touching his vineyard <03754>_. My wellbeloved <03039> hath a vineyard <03754> in a very fruitful <01121> <08081> hill <07161>_: {a very...: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}
2And he fenced <05823> (8762) it, and gathered out the stones <05619> (8762) thereof, and planted <05193> (8799) it with the choicest vine <08321>_, and built <01129> (8799) a tower <04026> in the midst <08432> of it, and also made <02672> (8804) a winepress <03342> therein: and he looked <06960> (8762) that it should bring forth <06213> (8800) grapes <06025>_, and it brought forth <06213> (8799) wild grapes <0891>_. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
3And now, O inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>_, and men <0376> of Judah <03063>_, judge <08199> (8798)_, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard <03754>_.
4What could have been done <06213> (8800) more to my vineyard <03754>_, that I have not done <06213> (8804) in it? wherefore <04069>_, when I looked <06960> (8765) that it should bring forth <06213> (8800) grapes <06025>_, brought it forth <06213> (8799) wild grapes <0891>_?
5And now go to; I will tell <03045> (8686) you what I will do <06213> (8802) to my vineyard <03754>_: I will take away <05493> (8687) the hedge <04881> thereof, and it shall be eaten up <01197> (8763)_; [and] break down <06555> (8800) the wall <01447> thereof, and it shall be trodden down <04823>_: {trodden...: Heb. for a treading}
6And I will lay <07896> (8799) it waste <01326>_: it shall not be pruned <02168> (8735)_, nor digged <05737> (8735)_; but there shall come up <05927> (8804) briers <08068> and thorns <07898>_: I will also command <06680> (8762) the clouds <05645> that they rain <04305> (8687) no rain <04306> upon it.
7For the vineyard <03754> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> [is] the house <01004> of Israel <03478>_, and the men <0376> of Judah <03063> his pleasant <08191> plant <05194>_: and he looked <06960> (8762) for judgment <04941>_, but behold oppression <04939>_; for righteousness <06666>_, but behold a cry <06818>_. {his...: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
8Woe <01945> unto them that join <05060> (8688) house <01004> to house <01004>_, [that] lay <07126> (8686) field <07704> to field <07704>_, till [there be] no <0657> place <04725>_, that they may be placed <03427> (8717) alone in the midst <07130> of the earth <0776>_! {they: Heb. ye}
9In mine ears <0241> [said] the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, Of a truth <03808> many <07227> houses <01004> shall be desolate <08047>_, [even] great <01419> and fair <02896>_, without inhabitant <03427> (8802)_. {In...: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a...: Heb. If not, etc}
10Yea <03588>_, ten <06235> acres <06776> of vineyard <03754> shall yield <06213> (8799) one <0259> bath <01324>_, and the seed <02233> of an homer <02563> shall yield <06213> (8799) an ephah <0374>_.
11Woe <01945> unto them that rise up early <07925> (8688) in the morning <01242>_, [that] they may follow <07291> (8799) strong drink <07941>_; that continue <0309> (8764) until night <05399>_, [till] wine <03196> inflame <01814> (8686) them! {inflame: of, pursue}
12And the harp <03658>_, and the viol <05035>_, the tabret <08596>_, and pipe <02485>_, and wine <03196>_, are in their feasts <04960>_: but they regard <05027> (8686) not the work <06467> of the LORD <03068>_, neither consider <07200> (8804) the operation <04639> of his hands <03027>_.
13Therefore my people <05971> are gone into captivity <01540> (8804)_, because [they have] no knowledge <01847>_: and their honourable <03519> men <04962> [are] famished <07458>_, and their multitude <01995> dried up <06704> with thirst <06772>_. {honourable...: Heb. glory are men of famine}
14Therefore hell <07585> hath enlarged <07337> (8689) herself <05315>_, and opened <06473> (8804) her mouth <06310> without measure <02706>_: and their glory <01926>_, and their multitude <01995>_, and their pomp <07588>_, and he that rejoiceth <05938>_, shall descend <03381> (8804) into it.
15And the mean man <0120> shall be brought down <07817> (8735)_, and the mighty man <0376> shall be humbled <08213> (8799)_, and the eyes <05869> of the lofty <01364> shall be humbled <08213> (8799)_:
16But the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> shall be exalted <01361> (8799) in judgment <04941>_, and God <0410> that is holy <06918> shall be sanctified <06942> (8738) in righteousness <06666>_. {God...: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}
17Then shall the lambs <03532> feed <07462> (8804) after their manner <01699>_, and the waste places <02723> of the fat ones <04220> shall strangers <01481> (8802) eat <0398> (8799)_.
18Woe <01945> unto them that draw <04900> (8802) iniquity <05771> with cords <02256> of vanity <07723>_, and sin <02403> as it were with a cart <05699> rope <05688>_:
19That say <0559> (8802)_, Let him make speed <04116> (8762)_, [and] hasten <02363> (8686) his work <04639>_, that we may see <07200> (8799) [it]: and let the counsel <06098> of the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478> draw nigh <07126> (8799) and come <0935> (8799)_, that we may know <03045> (8799) [it]!
20Woe <01945> unto them that call <0559> (8802) evil <07451> good <02896>_, and good <02896> evil <07451>_; that put <07760> (8802) darkness <02822> for light <0216>_, and light <0216> for darkness <02822>_; that put <07760> (8802) bitter <04751> for sweet <04966>_, and sweet <04966> for bitter <04751>_! {call...: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}
21Woe <01945> unto [them that are] wise <02450> in their own eyes <05869>_, and prudent <0995> (8737) in their own sight <06440>_! {in their own sight: Heb. before their face}
22Woe <01945> unto [them that are] mighty <01368> to drink <08354> (8800) wine <03196>_, and men <0582> of strength <02428> to mingle <04537> (8800) strong drink <07941>_:
23Which justify <06663> (8688) the wicked <07563> for <06118> reward <07810>_, and take away <05493> (8686) the righteousness <06666> of the righteous <06662> from him!
24Therefore as the fire <0784> devoureth <0398> (8800) the stubble <07179>_, and the flame <03956> <03852> consumeth <07503> (8799) the chaff <02842>_, [so] their root <08328> shall be as rottenness <04716>_, and their blossom <06525> shall go up <05927> (8799) as dust <080>_: because they have cast away <03988> (8804) the law <08451> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, and despised <05006> (8765) the word <0565> of the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>_. {fire: Heb. tongue of fire}
25Therefore is the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> kindled <02734> (8804) against his people <05971>_, and he hath stretched forth <05186> (8799) his hand <03027> against them, and hath smitten <05221> (8686) them: and the hills <02022> did tremble <07264> (8799)_, and their carcases <05038> [were] torn <05478> in the midst <07130> of the streets <02351>_. For all this his anger <0639> is not turned away <07725> (8804)_, but his hand <03027> [is] stretched out <05186> (8803) still. {torn: or, as dung}
26And he will lift up <05375> (8804) an ensign <05251> to the nations <01471> from far <07350>_, and will hiss <08319> (8804) unto them from the end <07097> of the earth <0776>_: and, behold, they shall come <0935> (8799) with speed <04120> swiftly <07031>_:
27None shall be weary <05889> nor stumble <03782> (8802) among them; none shall slumber <05123> (8799) nor sleep <03462> (8799)_; neither shall the girdle <0232> of their loins <02504> be loosed <06605> (8738)_, nor the latchet <08288> of their shoes <05275> be broken <05423> (8738)_:
28Whose arrows <02671> [are] sharp <08150> (8802)_, and all their bows <07198> bent <01869> (8803)_, their horses <05483>_' hoofs <06541> shall be counted <02803> (8738) like flint <06862>_, and their wheels <01534> like a whirlwind <05492>_:
29Their roaring <07581> [shall be] like a lion <03833>_, they shall roar <07580> (8799) (8675) <07580> (8804) like young lions <03715>_: yea, they shall roar <05098> (8799)_, and lay hold <0270> (8799) of the prey <02964>_, and shall carry [it] away safe <06403> (8686)_, and none shall deliver <05337> (8688) [it].
30And in that day <03117> they shall roar <05098> (8799) against them like the roaring <05100> of the sea <03220>_: and if [one] look <05027> (8765) unto the land <0776>_, behold darkness <02822> [and] sorrow <06862>_, and the light <0216> is darkened <02821> (8804) in the heavens <06183> thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light...: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
