Isaiah 5:2-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
He dug it all around, cleared it of stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it,
And also carved out a wine vat in it;
Then He expected
it
to produce
good
grapes,
But it produced
only
worthless ones.
3
'And now, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah,
Judge between Me and My vineyard.
4
What more was there to do for My vineyard that I have not done in it?
Why,
when
I expected
it
to produce
good
grapes did it produce worthless ones?
5
So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.
6
I will lay it waste;
It will not be pruned nor hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also command the clouds not to rain on it.'
7
For the vineyard of the
Lord
of armies is the house of Israel,
And the people of Judah are His delightful plant.
So He waited for justice, but behold,
there was
bloodshed;
For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.
8
Woe to those who attach house to house
and
join field to field,
Until there is no more room,
And you alone are a landowner in the midst of the land!
9
In my ears the
Lord
of armies
has sworn,
'Many houses shall certainly become desolate,
Even
great and fine ones, without occupants.
10
For ten acres of vineyard will yield
only
one bath
of wine,
And a homer of seed will yield
only
an ephah of grain.'
11
Woe to those who rise early in the morning so that they may pursue intoxicating drink,
Who stay up late in the evening so that wine may inflame them!
12
Their banquets are
accompanied by
lyre and harp,
by
tambourine and flute, and
by
wine;
But they do not pay attention to the deeds of the
Lord
,
Nor do they consider the work of His hands.
13
Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge;
And their nobles are famished,
And their multitude is parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat and opened its mouth beyond measure;
And Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her noise
of revelry,
and the jubilant within her, descend
into it.
King James Version
Chapter 5
2
And 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.
3
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4
What 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?
5
And 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:
6
And 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.
7
For 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.
8
Woe 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!
9
In mine ears said the
Lord
of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
10
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
11
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
12
And 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.
13
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14
Therefore 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
He broke up the soil, cleared it of stones,
and planted it with the finest vines.
He built a tower in the middle of it
and even dug out a winepress there.
He expected it to yield good grapes,
but it yielded worthless grapes.
3
So now, residents of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
please judge between me
and my vineyard.
4
What more could I have done for my vineyard
than I did?
Why, when I expected a yield of good grapes,
did it yield worthless grapes?
5
Now I will tell you
what I am about to do to my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge,
and it will be consumed;
I will tear down its wall,
and it will be trampled.
6
I will make it a wasteland.
It will not be pruned or weeded;
thorns and briers will grow up.
I will also give orders to the clouds
that rain should not fall on it.
7
For the vineyard of the
Lord
of Armies
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah,
the plant he delighted in.
He expected justice
but saw injustice;
he expected righteousness,
but heard cries of despair.
8
Woe to those who add house to house
and join field to field
until there is no more room
and you alone are left in the land.
9
I heard the
Lord
of Armies say:
Indeed, many houses will become desolate,
grand and lovely ones without inhabitants.
10
For a ten-acre vineyard will yield
only six gallons of wine,
and ten bushels of seed will yield
only one bushel of grain.
11
Woe to those who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of beer,
who linger into the evening,
inflamed by wine.
12
At their feasts they have lyre, harp,
tambourine, flute, and wine.
They do not perceive the
Lord
’s actions,
and they do not see the work of his hands.
13
Therefore my people will go into exile
because they lack knowledge;
her dignitaries are starving,
and her masses are parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who celebrate in her!
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
2
He plowed the land, cleared its stones,
and planted it with the best vines.
In the middle he built a watchtower
and carved a winepress in the nearby rocks.
Then he waited for a harvest of sweet grapes,
but the grapes that grew were bitter.
3
Now, you people of Jerusalem and Judah,
you judge between me and my vineyard.
4
What more could I have done for my vineyard
that I have not already done?
When I expected sweet grapes,
why did my vineyard give me bitter grapes?
5
Now let me tell you
what I will do to my vineyard:
I will tear down its hedges
and let it be destroyed.
I will break down its walls
and let the animals trample it.
6
I will make it a wild place
where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed,
a place overgrown with briers and thorns.
I will command the clouds
to drop no rain on it.
7
The nation of Israel is the vineyard of the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
The people of Judah are his pleasant garden.
He expected a crop of justice,
but instead he found oppression.
He expected to find righteousness,
but instead he heard cries of violence.
8
What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field,
until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land.
9
But I have heard the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies
swear a solemn oath:
'Many houses will stand deserted;
even beautiful mansions will be empty.
10
Ten acres of vineyard will not produce even six gallons of wine.
Ten baskets of seed will yield only one basket of grain.'
11
What sorrow for those who get up early in the morning
looking for a drink of alcohol
and spend long evenings drinking wine
to make themselves flaming drunk.
12
They furnish wine and lovely music at their grand parties —
lyre and harp, tambourine and flute —
but they never think about the
Lord
or notice what he is doing.
13
So my people will go into exile far away
because they do not know me.
Those who are great and honored will starve,
and the common people will die of thirst.
14
The grave is licking its lips in anticipation,
opening its mouth wide.
The great and the lowly
and all the drunken mob will be swallowed up.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
2
He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and he looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
3
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4
What more was there to do for my vineyard,
that I have not done in it?
When I looked for it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
5
And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove its hedge,
and it shall be devoured;
I will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
6
I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and briers and thorns shall grow up;
I will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
7
For the vineyard of the
Lord
of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed;
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry!
8
Woe to those who join house to house,
who add field to field,
until there is no more room,
and you are made to dwell alone
in the midst of the land.
9
The
Lord
of hosts has sworn in my hearing:
"Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.
10
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah."
11
Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
that they may run after strong drink,
who tarry late into the evening
as wine inflames them!
12
They have lyre and harp,
tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
but they do not regard the deeds of the
Lord
,
or see the work of his hands.
13
Therefore my people go into exile
for lack of knowledge;
their honored men go hungry,
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite
and opened its mouth beyond measure,
and the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude will go down,
her revelers and he who exults in her.
New International Version
Chapter 5
2
He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.
He built a watchtower in it
and cut out a winepress as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.
3
"Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4
What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?
5
Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;
I will break down its wall,
and it will be trampled.
6
I will make it a wasteland,
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain on it."
7
The vineyard of the
Lord
Almighty
is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.
8
Woe to you who add house to house
and join field to field
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
9
The
Lord
Almighty has declared in my hearing:
"Surely the great houses will become desolate,
the fine mansions left without occupants.
10
A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine;
a homer of seed will yield only an ephah of grain."
11
Woe to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.
12
They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes and timbrels and wine,
but they have no regard for the deeds of the
Lord
,
no respect for the work of his hands.
13
Therefore my people will go into exile
for lack of understanding;
those of high rank will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.
14
Therefore Death expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.
New King James Version
Chapter 5
2
He dug it up and cleared out its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
He built a tower in its midst,
And also made a winepress in it;
So He expected
it
to bring forth
good
grapes,
But it brought forth wild grapes.
3
“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.
4
What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in it?
Why then, when I expected
it
to bring forth
good
grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
5
And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And
break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
6
I will lay it waste;
It shall not be pruned or dug,
But there shall come up briers and thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”
7
For the vineyard of the
Lord
of hosts
is
the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, a cry
for help.
8
Woe to those who join house to house;
They add field to field,
Till
there is
no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9
In my hearing the
Lord
of hosts
said,
“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
10
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath,
And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah.”
11
Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That
they may follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night,
till
wine inflames them!
12
The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But they do not regard the work of the
Lord
,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13
Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because
they have
no knowledge;
Their honorable men
are
famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14
Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
