New King James Version
Isaiah 5
1 On a very fruitful hill. 2 But it brought forth wild grapes. 3 Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard. 4 Did it bring forth wild grapes? 5 And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 6 That they rain no rain on it.” 7 For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help. 8 Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant. 10 And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah.” 11 Who continue until night, till wine inflames them! 12 Nor consider the operation of His hands. 13 And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. 16 And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness. 17 And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat. 18 And sin as if with a cart rope; 19 That we may know it.” 20 Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 And prudent in their own sight! 22 Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, 23 And take away justice from the righteous man! 24 And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25 But His hand is stretched out still. 26 Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly. 27 Nor the strap of their sandals be broken; 28 And their wheels like a whirlwind. 29 And no one will deliver. 30 And the light is darkened by the clouds.
