| 5:1 |  ow will I sing to my welbeloued, a song of my beloued touching his vineyard: my wellbeloued hath a vineyard in a very fruitfull hill. |
 |
| 5:2 | And hee fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a towre in the middest of it, and also made a winepresse therein: and he looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it brought foorth wilde grapes. |
|
| 5:3 | And now, O inhabitants of Ierusalem, and men of Iudah, Iudge, I pray you, betwixt me and my Uineyard. | |
| 5:4 | What could haue beene done more to my Uineyard, that I haue not done in it? Wherefore when I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, brought it foorth wilde grapes? | |
| 5:5 | And now goe to; I will tell you what I will doe to my Uineyard, I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp; and breake downe the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe. |
|
| 5:6 | And I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned, nor digged, but there shall come vp briars and thornes: I will also command the cloudes, that they raine no raine vpon it. | |
| 5:7 | For the Uineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah his pleasant plant: and he looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression; for righteousnesse, but behold a crie. |
|
| 5:8 | Woe vnto them that ioyne 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. | |
| 5:9 | In mine eares said the Lord of hostes, Of a trueth many houses shall be desolate, euen great and faire without inhabitant. |
|
| 5:10 | Yea ten acres of vineyard shall yeeld one Bath, and the seed of an Homer shall yeeld an Ephah. | |
| 5:11 | Woe vnto them that rise vp earely in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, that continue vntill night, till wine enflame them. |
|
| 5:12 | And the harpe and the viole, the tabret and pipe, and wine are in their feasts: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands. | |
| 5:13 | Therefore my people are gone into captiuitie, because they haue no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, aud their multitude dried vp with thirst. |
|
| 5:14 | Therefore hell hath enlarged her selfe, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth, shall descend into it. | |
| 5:15 | And the meane man shall bee brought downe, and the mightie man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the loftie shall be humbled. | |
| 5:16 | But the Lord of hosts shalbe exalted in iudgement, and God that is holy, shall bee sanctified in righteousnesse. |
|
| 5:17 | Then shall the lambes feed after their maner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eate. | |
| 5:18 | Woe vnto them that draw iniquitie with cords of vanitie, and sinne, as it were with a cart rope: | |
| 5:19 | That say, Let him make speede, and hasten his worke, that we may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw nigh and come, that wee may know it. | |
| 5:20 | Woe vnto them that call euill good, and good euill, that put darkenes for light, and light for darkenesse, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for bitter. |
|
| 5:21 | Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight. |
|
| 5:22 | Woe vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drinke. | |
| 5:23 | Which iustifie the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousnes of the righteous from him. | |
| 5:24 | Therfore as the fire deuoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaffe, so their root shall be rottennes, and their blossome shall goe vp as dust: because they haue cast away the Lawe of the Lord of hosts, and despised the worde of the Holy One of Israel. |
|
| 5:25 | Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched foorth his hande against them, and hath smitten them: and the hilles did tremble, and their carkeises were torne in the midst of the streets: for all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. |
|
| 5:26 | And he will lift vp an ensigne to the nations from farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the end of the earth: and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. | |
| 5:27 | None shalbe weary, nor stumble amongst them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of their loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of their shooes be broken. | |
| 5:28 | Whose arrowes are sharpe, and all their bowes bent, their horses hoofs shall bee counted like flint, and their wheeles like a whirlewind. | |
| 5:29 | Their roaring shalbe like a lyon, they shall roare like yong lions: yea they shal roare and lay hold of the pray, and shall carie it away safe, and none shall deliuer it. | |
| 5:30 | And in that day they shall roare against them, like the roaring of the sea: and if one looke vnto the land, behold darkenesse and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heauens therof. |
