Isaiah 5

  1. Now let me sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved regarding his vineyard (Matt. 21:33):  My well beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
  2. He dug it up and cleaned 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.  (Deut. 32:6)
  3. I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned or dug,  (2 Chr. 36:19-21;   Is. 27:10)  but there shall come up briers and thorns.  I will also command the clouds (Is. 7:19-25) that they rain no rain on it."  (Heb. 6:8)
  4. For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.  He looks for justice, but behold, oppression; for righteousness, but behold, weeping.
  5. Woe to those who join house to house, who add field to field, ill there is no place (Mic. 2:2) where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!  (Prov. 15:27)
  6. Woe to those who rise early in the morning (Prov. 23:29&30), that they may follow intoxicating drink; who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
  7. 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.  (Job 34:27;   Ps. 28:5;   Is. 26:11;   Amos 6:5)
  8. Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.  (2 Kin. 24:14-16;   Hos. 4:6)
  9. Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture, and in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat.  (Is. 27:10)
  10. Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
    (Prov. 23:20;   Prov. 23:29 )
  11. Who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous man!
    (Prov. 17:15;   Prov. 24:24)
