1I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard:
2He dug it up and cleared the stones
3“And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem
4What more could I have done for My vineyard
5Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard:
6I will make it a wasteland,
7For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts
8Woe to you who add house to house
9I heard the LORD of Hosts declare:
10For ten acres of vineyard
11Woe to those who rise early in the morning
12At their feasts are the lyre and harp,
13Therefore My people will go into exile
14Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
15So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled;
16But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice,
17Lambs will graze as in their own pastures,
18Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit
19to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work
20Woe to those who call evil good
21Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
22Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine
23who acquit the guilty for a bribe
24Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw,
25Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people;
26He lifts a banner for the distant nations
27None of them grows weary or stumbles;
28Their arrows are sharpened,
29Their roaring is like that of a lion;
30In that day they will roar over it,
