NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 5

Parable of the Vineyard

1

Let me singh7891 nowh4994 for my well-belovedh3039 A songh7892b of my belovedh1730 concerning His vineyardh3754. My well-belovedh3039 hadh1961 a  avineyardh3754 on  1a fertileh1121h8081 hillh7161.

2

He dugh5823 it all aroundh5823, removedh5619 its stonesh5619, And plantedh5193 it with  1the  achoicesth8321a vineh8321a. And He builth1129 a towerh4026 in the middleh8432 of it And alsoh1571 hewedh2672 out a  2wineh3342 vath3342 in it; Then He  bexpectedh6960a it to produceh6213a good grapesh6025, But it producedh6213a only  3worthlessh891 onesh891.

3

"And nowh6258, O inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 and menh376 of Judahh3063,  aJudgeh8199 betweenh996 Me and My vineyardh3754.

4

aWhath4100 moreh5750 was there to doh6213a for My vineyardh3754  1that I have not doneh6213a in it? Whyh4069, when I expectedh6960a it to produceh6213a good grapesh6025 did it produceh6213a  2worthlessh891 onesh891?

5

"So nowh6258 let Me tellh3045 you whath834 I am going to doh6213a to My vineyardh3754: I will  aremoveh5493 its hedgeh4905a and it will be consumedh1197a; I will  bbreakh6555 downh6555 its wallh1447 and it will becomeh1961  ctrampledh4823 groundh4823.

6

"I will  alayh7896 it wasteh1326; It will not be prunedh2168 or hoedh5737b, But briarsh8068 and thornsh7898 will comeh5927 up. I will also chargeh6680 the cloudsh5645 to  brainh4305 noh4480 rainh4306 on it."

7

For the  avineyardh3754 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 is the househ1004 of Israelh3478 And the menh376 of Judahh3063 His delightfulh8191 planth5194. Thus He lookedh6960a for justiceh4941, but beholdh2009,  bbloodshedh4939; For righteousnessh6666, but beholdh2009, a cryh6818 of distressh6818.

Woes for the Wicked

8

Woeh1945 to those who  aaddh5060 househ1004 to househ1004 and joinh7126 fieldh7704 to fieldh7704, Untilh5704 there is noh657 moreh657 roomh4725, So that you have to liveh3427 aloneh905 in the midsth7130 of the landh776!

9

In my earsh241 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 has sworn, "Surelyh518h3808,  amanyh7227a housesh1004 shall becomeh1961  bdesolateh8047, Even greath1419 and fineh2896a onesh2896a, withouth369 occupantsh3427.

10

"For  atenh6235 acresh6776 of vineyardh3754 will yieldh6213a only oneh259  1bathh1324 of wine, And a  bhomerh2563c of seedh2233 will yieldh6213a but an  2ephahh374 of grain."

11

Woeh1945 to those who riseh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242 that they may pursueh7291  astrongh7941 drinkh7941, Who stayh309 up lateh309 in the eveningh5399 that wineh3196 may inflameh1814 them!

12

Their banquetsh4960 are accompanied by lyreh3658 and  aharph5035b, by tambourineh8596 and fluteh2485, and by wineh3196; But they  bdo not payh5027 attentionh5027 to the deedsh6467 of the LORDh3068, Norh3808 do they considerh7200 the workh4639 of His handsh3027.

13

Thereforeh3651 My peopleh5971a goh1540 into exileh1540 for their  alackh1097 of knowledgeh1847; And  1their  bhonorableh3519b menh4962 are famishedh7458, And their multitudeh1995 is parchedh6704 with thirsth6772.

14

Thereforeh3651  aSheolh7585 has enlargedh7337 its  1throath5315 and openedh6473 its mouthh6310 withouth1097 measureh2706; And  2Jerusalem's splendorh1926, her multitudeh1995, her dinh7588 of revelry and the jubilanth5938 within her, descendh3381 into it.

15

So the common manh120 will be humbledh7817 and the manh376 of importance abasedh8213,  aThe eyesh5869 of the proudh1364 also will be abasedh8213.

16

But the  aLORDh3068 of hostsh6635 will be  bexaltedh1361b in judgmenth4941, And the holyh6918 Godh410 will showh6942 Himself  cholyh6942 in righteousnessh6666.

17

 aThen the lambsh3532 will grazeh7462a as in their pastureh1699, And strangersh1481a will eath398 in the wasteh2723 placesh2723 of the  1wealthyh4220.

18

Woeh1945 to those who dragh4900  ainiquityh5771 with the cordsh2256a of  1falsehoodh7723, And sinh2403a as if with carth5699 ropesh5688;

19

 aWho sayh559, "Let Him makeh4116 speedh4116, let Him hastenh2363a His workh4639, that we may seeh7200 it; And let the purposeh6098 of the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478 drawh7126 nearh7126 And comeh935 to passh935, that we may knowh3045 it!"

20

Woeh1945 to those who  acallh559 evilh7451b goodh2896b, and goodh2896b evilh7451b; Who  1 bsubstituteh7760 darknessh2822 for lighth216 and lighth216 for darknessh2822; Who  1substituteh7760 bitterh4751 for sweeth4966 and sweeth4966 for bitterh4751!

21

Woeh1945 to those whoh2450 are  awiseh2450 in their own eyesh5869 And cleverh995 in their own sighth5048h6440!

22

 aWoeh1945 to those who are heroesh1368 in drinkingh8354 wineh3196 And valianth2428 menh376 in mixingh4537 strongh7941 drinkh7941,

23

 aWho justifyh6663 the wickedh7563 for a bribeh7810, And  btakeh5493 awayh5493 the  1rightsh6666 of the ones whoh6662 are in the righth6662!

24

Thereforeh3651,  aas a tongueh3956 of fireh784 consumesh398 stubbleh7179 And dryh2842 grassh2842 collapsesh7503 into the flameh3852, So their  brooth8328 will becomeh1961  clike roth4716 and their blossomh6525  1blowh5927 awayh5927 as dusth80; For they have  drejectedh3988a the lawh8451 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 And despisedh5006 the wordh565a of the Holyh6918 Oneh6918 of Israelh3478.

25

On thish3651 accounth3651 the  aangerh639 of the LORDh3068 has burnedh2734 against His peopleh5971a, And He has stretchedh5186 out His handh3027 againsth5921 them and struckh5221 them downh5221. And the  bmountainsh2022 quakedh7264, and their  ccorpsesh5038  1layh1961 like refuseh5478 in the middleh7130 of the streetsh2351.  dFor allh3605 thish384 His angerh639  2is not spenth7725, But His  ehandh3027 is stillh5750 stretchedh5186 out.

26

He will also lifth5375 up a  astandardh5251 to the  1distanth7350 nationh1471, And will  bwhistleh8319 for it  cfrom the endsh7097a of the earthh776; And beholdh2009, it will  dcomeh935 with speedh4120 swiftlyh7031.

27

 aNoh369 oneh369 in it is wearyh5889 or stumblesh3782, Noneh3808 slumbersh5123 or sleepsh3462; Norh3808 is the  bbelth232 at its waisth2504 undoneh6605a, Norh3808 its sandalh5275 straph8288 brokenh5423.

28

 1 aIts arrowsh2671 are sharph8150 and allh3605 its bowsh7198 are benth1869; The hoofsh6541 of its horsesh5483b  2seemh2803 like flinth6862d and its chariot  bwheelsh1534 like a whirlwindh5492a.

29

Its  aroaringh7581 is like a lionessh3833b, and it roarsh7580 like youngh3715 lionsh3715; It growlsh5098 as it  bseizesh270 the preyh2964 And carriesh6403 it offh6403 with  cnoh369 oneh369 to deliverh5337 it.

30

And it will  agrowlh5098 overh5921 it in that dayh3117 like the roaringh5100 of the seah3220. If one  blooksh5027 to the landh776, beholdh2009, there is darknessh2822 and distressh6862b; Even the lighth216 is darkenedh2821 by its cloudsh6183.
