5 Please let me sing for my beloved

a song of my beloved about his vineyard.

My beloved had a vineyard

on a hill of a son of richness.

2 And he dug it up, and he cleared it of stones,

and he planted it with a choice vine,

and he built a tower in the midst of it,

and he also hewed out a winepress in it.

And he waited for it to produce grapes,

but it produced wild grapes.

3 “And now, dweller of Jerusalem and man of Judah,

please judge between me and between my vineyard.

4 What more is there to do for my vineyard

that I have not done in it?

Why did I wait for it to produce grapes,

but it produced wild grapes?

5 And now, please let me make you know

what I am doing to my vineyard.

I will remove its hedge, and it will be for burning;

I will break down its wall, and it will be for trampling.

6 And I will make it a waste;

it will not be pruned and it will not be hoed,

and briar and thorn will come up.

And to the clouds, I will command

not to rain rain upon it.”

7 For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel,

and the man of Judah is the planting of his delight.

And he waited for justice, but behold, bloodshed;

for righteousness, but behold, a cry.

8 Woe to the ones joining house to house,

they make field approach to field

until cessation of place,

and you are made to dwell, you alone,

in the midst of the land.

9 In my ears, Yahweh of Armies,

“If many houses will not become a desolation,

great ones and good ones, without a dweller!

10 For ten of yokes of a vineyard will produce one bath,

and seed of a homer will produce an ephah.”

11 Woe to the ones rising early in the morning,

they pursue beer;

the ones lingering into the twilight,

wine inflames them.

12 And the harp and the lyre and the tambourine

and the flute and wine are at their feasts,

but they do not regard the work of Yahweh,

and they have not seen the deed of his hands.

13 Therefore, my people go into exile

from lack of knowledge,

and its glory is men of hunger,

and its multitude is dry of thirst.

14 Therefore, Sheol has enlarged its soul,

and it has opened its mouth without limit,

and its honor and its multitude will go down,

and its uproar and the one exulting in it.

15 And a human will be humbled, and a man will become low,

and the eyes of the haughty will become low.

16 But Yahweh of Armies will be exalted in justice,

and the holy God will be sanctified in righteousness.

17 And lambs will graze according to their manner,

and sojourners will eat in the desolations of fatlings.

18 Woe to the ones dragging iniquity with cords of falsehood

and sin as with the ropes of a cart,

19 the ones saying, “Let him hurry,

let him hasten his work that we may see,

and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel approach,

let it come, that we may know.”

20 Woe to the ones saying of evil, “Good,”

and of good, “Evil,”

the ones putting darkness for light

and light for darkness,

the ones putting bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter.

21 Woe to the wise in their own eyes

and the ones having understanding before their own faces.

22 Woe to the champions at drinking wine

and the men of valor at mixing beer,

23 the ones declaring the wicked righteous on account of a bribe,

and they take the righteousness of the righteous ones away from him.

24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devours stubble

and dry grass sinks down into a flame,

their root will be like rottenness,

and their blossom will go up like dust,

for they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies,

and they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 Therefore the nose of Yahweh burns against his people,

and he has stretched out his hand against it and struck it,

and the mountains have quaked,

and their corpse has become like refuse in the midst of the streets.

In all of this, his nose has not turned back,

and his hand is still stretched out.

26 And he will raise a banner for the nations from afar,

and he will whistle for him from the end of the earth,

and behold, hurriedly, swiftly,

one will come.

27 None is weary and none is stumbling among it;

he does not slumber and he does not sleep.

And the belt of his loins is not opened,

and the strap of his sandals is not broken,

28 who, his arrows are sharpened

and all of his bows have been trod.

The hooves of its horses are reckoned like flint

and its wheels, like a whirlwind.

29 A roaring is to it like a lioness;

and it roars like young lions.

And it growls, and it seizes the prey

and carries it away, and there is none delivering.

30 And it will growl over it on that day

like the growling of the sea.

And one looks at the land, and behold, darkness, trouble,

and the light becomes dark by its clouds.
