Isaiah 5

About Isaiah Isaiah warns of judgment and promises comfort, a coming king, a suffering servant and a new creation.

Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:SelectedIsaiah 5:1Ask

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.SelectedIsaiah 5:2Ask

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.SelectedIsaiah 5:3Ask

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?SelectedIsaiah 5:4Ask

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!SelectedIsaiah 5:11Ask

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.SelectedIsaiah 5:12Ask

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.SelectedIsaiah 5:13Ask

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.SelectedIsaiah 5:14Ask

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!SelectedIsaiah 5:21Ask

Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:SelectedIsaiah 5:22Ask

Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!SelectedIsaiah 5:23Ask

Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.SelectedIsaiah 5:24Ask

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets.

And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:SelectedIsaiah 5:26Ask

None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:SelectedIsaiah 5:27Ask

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:SelectedIsaiah 5:28Ask

Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.SelectedIsaiah 5:29Ask
