Isaías — Capítulo 5

KJVNow will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: {a very...: Heb. the horn of the son of oil}

KJVAnd 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 therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}

KJVAnd now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

KJVWhat could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

KJVAnd now go to; 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 trodden down: {trodden...: Heb. for a treading}

KJVAnd I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

KJVFor the vineyard of the LORD of hosts {is} the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. {his...: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}

KJVWoe unto them that join house to house, {that} lay field to field, till {there be} no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! {they: Heb. ye}

KJVIn mine ears {said} the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, {even} great and fair, without inhabitant. {In...: or, This is in mine ears, saith the LORD, etc} {Of a...: Heb. If not, etc}

KJVYea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

KJVWoe unto them that rise up early in the morning, {that} they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, {till} wine inflame them! {inflame: of, pursue}

KJVAnd the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.

KJVTherefore my people are gone into captivity, because {they have} no knowledge: and their honourable men {are} famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. {honourable...: Heb. glory are men of famine}

KJVTherefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

KJVAnd the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

KJVBut the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. {God...: or, the holy God: Heb. the God the holy}

KJVThen shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

KJVWoe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

KJVThat say, Let him make speed, {and} hasten his work, that we may see {it}: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know {it}!

KJVWoe 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! {call...: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}

KJVWoe unto {them that are} wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! {in their own sight: Heb. before their face}

KJVWoe unto {them that are} mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

KJVWhich justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

KJVTherefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth 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 of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. {fire: Heb. tongue of fire}

KJVTherefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases {were} torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand {is} stretched out still. {torn: or, as dung}

KJVAnd he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

KJVNone shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

KJVWhose arrows {are} sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

KJVTheir roaring {shall be} like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry {it} away safe, and none shall deliver {it}.

KJVAnd 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. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light...: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
