Isaiah 5

1 Under the parable of a vineyard God excuseth his severe judgment. 8 His judgments upon covetousness, 11 upon lasciviousness, 13 upon impiety, 20 and upon injustice. 26 The executioners of God's judgments.

 5:1 ¶ Now x4994 will I sing 7891 z8799 to my welbeloued, 3039 a song 7892 of my beloued 1730 touching his vineyard: 3754 my wellbeloued 3039 hath x1961 a vineyard 3754 in a very fruitfull y1121 y8081 hill. 7161 x1121 x8081

 5:2 And hee fenced 5823 z8762 it, and gathered out the stones 5619 z8762 thereof, and planted 5193 z8799 it with the choicest vine, 8321 and built 1129 z8799 a towre 4026 in the middest 8432 of it, and also x1571 made 2672 z8804 a winepresse 3342 therein: and he looked 6960 z8762 that it should bring foorth 6213 z8800 grapes, 6025 and it brought foorth 6213 z8799 wilde grapes. 891

 5:3 And now, x6258 O inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Ierusalem, 3389 and men 376 of Iudah, 3063 Iudge, 8199 z8798 I pray you, x4994 betwixt x996 me and my Uineyard. 3754

 5:4 What x4100 could haue beene done 6213 z8800 more x5750 to my Uineyard, 3754 that I haue not x3808 done 6213 z8804 in it? Wherefore 4069 when I looked 6960 z8765 that it should bring foorth 6213 z8800 grapes, 6025 brought it foorth 6213 z8799 wilde grapes? 891

 5:5 And now x6258 goe to; I will tell 3045 z8686 x4994 you x853 what x834 I x589 will doe 6213 z8802 to my Uineyard, 3754 I will take away 5493 z8687 the hedge 4881 thereof, and it shall be x1961 eaten vp; 1197 z8763 [and] breake downe 6555 z8800 the wall 1447 thereof, and it shall be x1961 troden downe. 4823

 5:6 And I will lay 7896 z8799 it waste; 1326 it shall not x3808 be pruned, y2168 z8735 x2167 nor x3808 digged, 5737 z8735 but there shall come vp 5927 z8804 briars 8068 and thornes: 7898 I will also command 6680 z8762 x5921 the cloudes, 5645 that they raine y4305 z8687 no raine 4306 x4480 x4305 vpon x5921 it.

 5:7 For x3588 the Uineyard 3754 of the LORD 3068 of hostes 6635 [is] the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 and the men 376 of Iudah 3063 his pleasant 8191 plant: 5194 and he looked 6960 z8762 for iudgement, 4941 but beholde x2009 oppression; 4939 for righteousnesse, 6666 but behold x2009 a crie. 6818

 5:8 ¶ Woe 1945 vnto them that ioyne 5060 z8688 house 1004 to house, 1004 that lay 7126 z8686 field 7704 to field, 7704 till x5704 [there be] no 657 place, 4725 that they may be placed 3427 z8717 alone x905 in the midst 7130 of the earth. 776

 5:9 In mine eares 241 [said] the LORD 3068 of hostes, 6635 Of a trueth 3808 x518 many 7227 houses 1004 shall be x1961 desolate, 8047 [euen] great 1419 and faire 2896 without x4480 x369 inhabitant. 3427 z8802

 5:10 Yea 3588 ten 6235 acres 6776 of vineyard 3754 shall yeeld 6213 z8799 one 259 Bath, 1324 and the seed 2233 of an Homer 2563 shall yeeld 6213 z8799 an Ephah. 374

 5:11 ¶ Woe 1945 vnto them that rise vp earely 7925 z8688 in the morning, 1242 [that] they may follow 7291 z8799 strong drink, 7941 that continue 309 z8764 vntill night, 5399 [till] wine 3196 enflame 1814 z8686 them.

 5:12 And the harpe 3658 and the viole, 5035 the tabret 8596 and pipe, 2485 and wine 3196 are x1961 in their feasts: 4960 but they regard 5027 z8686 not x3808 the worke 6467 of the LORD, 3068 neither x3808 consider 7200 z8804 the operation 4639 of his hands. 3027

 5:13 ¶ Therefore x3651 my people 5971 are gone into captiuitie, 1540 z8804 because [they haue] no x4480 x1097 knowledge: 1847 and their honourable 3519 men 4962 [are] famished, 7458 aud their multitude 1995 dried vp 6704 with thirst. 6772

 5:14 Therefore x3651 hell 7585 hath enlarged 7337 z8689 her selfe, 5315 and opened 6473 z8804 her mouth 6310 without x1097 measure: 2706 and their glory, 1926 and their multitude, 1995 and their pompe, 7588 and hee that reioyceth, 5938 shall descend 3381 z8804 into it.

 5:15 And the meane man 120 shall bee brought downe, 7817 z8735 and the mightie man 376 shall be humbled, 8213 z8799 and the eyes 5869 of the loftie 1364 shall be humbled. 8213 z8799

 5:16 But the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 shalbe exalted 1361 z8799 in iudgement, 4941 and God 410 that is holy, 6918 shall bee sanctified 6942 z8738 in righteousnesse. 6666

 5:17 Then shall the lambes 3532 feed 7462 z8804 after their maner, 1699 and the waste places 2723 of the fat ones 4220 shall strangers 1481 z8802 eate. 398 z8799

 5:18 Woe 1945 vnto them that draw 4900 z8802 iniquitie 5771 with cords 2256 of vanitie, 7723 and sinne, y2403 x2402 as it were with a cart 5699 rope: 5688

 5:19 That say, 559 z8802 Let him make speede, 4116 z8762 [and] hasten 2363 z8686 his worke, 4639 that x4616 we may see 7200 z8799 [it]: and let the counsell 6098 of the holy one 6918 of Israel 3478 draw nigh 7126 z8799 and come, 935 z8799 that wee may know 3045 z8799 [it].

 5:20 ¶ Woe 1945 vnto them that call 559 z8802 euill 7451 good, 2896 and good 2896 euill, 7451 that put 7760 z8802 darkenes 2822 for light, 216 and light 216 for darkenesse, 2822 that put 7760 z8802 bitter 4751 for sweete, 4966 and sweete 4966 for bitter. 4751

 5:21 Woe 1945 [vnto them that are] wise 2450 in their owne eyes, 5869 and prudent 995 z8737 in x5048 their owne sight. 6440

 5:22 Woe 1945 [vnto them that are] mightie 1368 to drinke 8354 z8800 wine, 3196 and men y582 x376 of strength 2428 to mingle 4537 z8800 strong drinke. 7941

 5:23 Which iustifie 6663 z8688 the wicked 7563 for 6118 reward, 7810 and take away 5493 z8686 the righteousnes 6666 of the righteous 6662 from x4480 him.

 5:24 Therfore x3651 as the fire 784 deuoureth 398 z8800 the stubble, 7179 [and] the flame 3852 y3956 consumeth 7503 z8799 the chaffe, 2842 so their root 8328 shall be x1961 rottennes, 4716 and their blossome 6525 shall goe vp 5927 z8799 as dust: 80 because x3588 they haue cast away 3988 z8804 x853 the Lawe 8451 of the LORD 3068 of hosts, 6635 and despised 5006 z8765 the worde 565 of the Holy One 6918 of Israel. 3478

 5:25 Therefore x5921 x3651 is the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 kindled 2734 z8804 against his people, 5971 and he hath stretched foorth 5186 z8799 his hande 3027 against x5921 them, and hath smitten 5221 z8686 them: and the hilles 2022 did tremble, 7264 z8799 and their carkeises 5038 were torne 5478 x1961 in the midst 7130 of the streets: 2351 for all x3605 this, x2063 his anger 639 is not x3808 turned away, 7725 z8804 but his hand 3027 is stretched out 5186 z8803 still. x5750

 5:26 ¶ And he will lift vp 5375 z8804 an ensigne 5251 to the nations 1471 from farre, 7350 x4480 and wil hisse 8319 z8804 vnto them from the end 7097 x4480 of the earth: 776 and behold, x2009 they shall come 935 z8799 with speed 4120 swiftly. 7031

 5:27 None x369 shalbe weary, 5889 nor x369 stumble 3782 z8802 amongst them: none x3808 shall slumber 5123 z8799 nor x3808 sleepe, 3462 z8799 neither x3808 shall the girdle 232 of their loynes 2504 be loosed, 6605 z8738 nor x3808 the latchet 8288 of their shooes 5275 be broken. 5423 z8738

 5:28 Whose x834 arrowes 2671 [are] sharpe, 8150 z8802 and all x3605 their bowes 7198 bent, 1869 z8803 their horses 5483 hoofs 6541 shall bee counted 2803 z8738 like flint, y6862 x6864 and their wheeles 1534 like a whirlewind. 5492

 5:29 Their roaring 7581 [shalbe] like a lyon, 3833 they shall roare 7580 z8799 z8675 z8804 like yong lions: 3715 yea they shal roare 5098 z8799 and lay hold 270 z8799 of the pray, 2964 and shall carie [it] away safe, 6403 z8686 and none x369 shall deliuer 5337 z8688 [it].

 5:30 And in that x1931 day 3117 they shall roare 5098 z8799 against x5921 them, like the roaring 5100 of the sea: 3220 and if [one] looke 5027 z8765 vnto the land, 776 behold x2009 darkenesse 2822 [and] sorrow, 6862 and the light 216 is darkened 2821 z8804 in the heauens 6183 therof.
