Sången om Herrens vingård
5 Nu vill jag sjunga om min älskade,
min älskades sång om hans vingård:
Min älskade hade en vingård på en bördig bergskulle.
2 Han grävde upp den och rensade den från stenar
och planterade där ädla vinstockar.
Han byggde ett vakttorn mitt i den
och högg ut ett presskar.
Sedan väntade han att den skulle bära äkta druvor,
men den bar vilddruvor.
3 Och nu, Jerusalems invånare och Juda män,
döm mellan mig och min vingård.
4 Vad kunde mer göras för min vingård
än vad jag har gjort för den?
Varför bar den vilddruvor,
när jag väntade att den skulle bära äkta druvor?
5 Jag vill nu låta er veta
vad jag skall göra med min vingård:
Jag skall ta bort stängslet,
och den skall bli ödelagd.
Jag skall bryta ner muren,
och den skall bli nertrampad.
6 Jag skall ödelägga den,
ingen skall beskära den eller gräva i den.
Men tistel och törne skall komma upp,
och jag skall befalla molnen
att inte låta det regna på den.
7 Herren Sebaots vingård är Israels hus
och Juda folk hans älsklingsplantering.
Han väntade laglydnad
men fann blodiga lagbrott,
han väntade rättfärdighet
men fann skriande orättfärdighet.
Domsord över ogudaktigheten
8 Ve er som lägger hus till hus
och fogar åker till åker,
till dess inget utrymme längre finns
och ni är de enda som bor i landet.
9 Från Herren Sebaot ljuder det i mina öron:
Sannerligen, många hus skall bli öde,
stora och vackra hus utan invånare.
10 En vingård på tio plogland[a]
skall ge endast ett batmått,
och en homers utsäde skall ge endast en efa.
11 Ve dem som stiger upp tidigt på morgonen
för att jaga efter starka drycker
och sitter uppe till sena natten,
upphettade av vin!
12 Vid sina dryckeslag har de harpor och psaltare,
pukor, flöjter och vin.
Men Herrens gärningar bryr de sig inte om,
hans händers verk intresserar dem inte.
13 Därför skall mitt folk föras bort i fångenskap,
ty de saknar kunskap.
Dess ädlingar skall lida hunger
och dess larmande skaror försmäkta av törst.
14 Därför ökar dödsriket sitt begär,
och spärrar upp sitt gap utan gräns.
Stadens främsta måste fara dit ner
tillsammans med de larmande och bullrande skaror
som jublar därinne.
15 Människorna skall bli nerböjda,
var och en förödmjukad.
Ja, de stoltas ögon skall förödmjukas.
16 Men Herren Sebaot blir upphöjd genom sin dom,
Gud, den Helige, bevisar sig helig genom rättfärdighet.
17 Då skall lammen beta som på sin egen mark,
och på de rikas ödetomter skall främlingar få sin föda.
18 Ve dem som drar fram missgärning
med lögnens band
och synd som med vagnslinor,
19 dem som säger: "Låt honom hasta,
låt honom skynda med sitt verk,
så att vi får se det.
Låt det som Israels Helige beslutat
närma sig och komma,
så att vi lär känna det!"
20 Ve dem som kallar det onda gott
och det goda ont,
som gör mörker till ljus och ljus till mörker,
som gör bittert till sött och sött till bittert!
21 Ve dem som är visa i sina egna ögon
och håller sig själva för kloka!
22 Ve dem som är hjältar i att dricka vin
och duktiga att blanda starka drycker,
23 dem som för mutor frikänner den skyldige
och berövar den rättfärdige hans rätt.
24 Liksom eldsflamman förtär strå
och halm sjunker ihop i lågan,
så skall deras rot ruttna bort
och deras blomning flyga i väg som stoft,
eftersom de förkastade Herren Sebaots lag
och föraktade Israels Heliges ord.
25 Därför brinner Herrens vrede mot hans folk,
och han räcker ut sin hand mot det och slår det,
så att bergen darrar
och döda kroppar ligger som orenhet på gatorna.
Med allt detta upphör inte hans vrede,
hans hand är ännu uträckt.
26 Han reser ett baner för hednafolken i fjärran
och lockar på dem från jordens ände.
Och se, de kommer snabbt och med hast.
27 Ingen ibland dem är trött eller stapplar,
ingen slumrar eller sover.
Bältet kring deras höfter lossnar inte,
deras skoremmar går inte av.
28 Deras pilar är skarpa,
alla deras bågar är spända.
Hovarna på deras hästar är som av flinta,
deras vagnshjul liknar stormvinden.
29 Deras rop är som en lejoninnas rytande.
De ryter som unga lejon,
ja, de morrar och griper sitt rov och bär bort det,
och ingen finns som räddar.
30 På den dagen skall det dåna mot dem,
likt havets dånande.
Ser man ut över landet,
är där mörker och kval,
ljuset förmörkas av töcken.

God’s Disappointing Vineyard
5 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved
A song of my Beloved (A)regarding His vineyard:
My Well-beloved has a vineyard
[a]On a very fruitful hill.
2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
He built a tower in its midst,
And also [b]made a winepress in it;
(B)So He expected it to bring forth good grapes,
But it brought forth wild grapes.
3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
(C)Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.
4 What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in (D)it?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
(E)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will lay it (F)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [c]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (G)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, [d]a cry for help.
Impending Judgment on Excesses
8 Woe to those who [e]join (H)house to house;
They add field to field,
Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 (I)In my hearing the Lord of hosts said,
“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
10 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one (J)bath,[f]
And a homer of seed shall yield one [g]ephah.”
11 (K)Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may [h]follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 (L)The harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But (M)they do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
13 (N)Therefore my people have gone into captivity,
Because they have no (O)knowledge;
Their honorable men are famished,
And their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself
And opened its mouth beyond measure;
Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,
And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
15 People shall be brought down,
(P)Each man shall be humbled,
And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
16 But the Lord of hosts shall be (Q)exalted in judgment,
And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.
17 Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,
And in the waste places of (R)the [i]fat ones strangers shall eat.
18 Woe to those who [j]draw iniquity with cords of [k]vanity,
And sin as if with a cart rope;
19 (S)That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work,
That we may see it;
And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come,
That we may know it.”
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are (T)wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe to men mighty at drinking wine,
Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,
23 Who (U)justify the wicked for a bribe,
And take away justice from the righteous man!
24 Therefore, (V)as the [l]fire devours the stubble,
And the flame consumes the chaff,
So (W)their root will be as rottenness,
And their blossom will ascend like dust;
Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 (X)Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;
He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And (Y)the hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.
(Z)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
26 (AA)He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
And will (AB)whistle to them from (AC)the end of the earth;
Surely (AD)they shall come with speed, swiftly.
27 No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (AE)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
28 (AF)Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will [m]seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.
30 In that day they will roar against them
Like the roaring of the sea.
And if one (AG)looks to the land,
Behold, darkness and [n]sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.

The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(A)
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.(B)
He built a watchtower(C) in it
and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(F)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(G)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(H)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(I)
I will break down its wall,(J)
and it will be trampled.(K)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(L)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(M) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(N) on it.”
7 The vineyard(O) of the Lord Almighty
is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,(P) but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness,(Q) but heard cries of distress.(R)
Woes and Judgments
8 Woe(S) to you who add house to house
and join field to field(T)
till no space is left
and you live alone in the land.
9 The Lord Almighty(U) has declared in my hearing:(V)
“Surely the great houses will become desolate,(W)
the fine mansions left without occupants.
10 A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath[a] of wine;
a homer[b] of seed will yield only an ephah[c] of grain.”(X)
11 Woe(Y) to those who rise early in the morning
to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
till they are inflamed with wine.(Z)
12 They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
pipes(AA) and timbrels(AB) and wine,
but they have no regard(AC) for the deeds of the Lord,
no respect for the work of his hands.(AD)
13 Therefore my people will go into exile(AE)
for lack of understanding;(AF)
those of high rank(AG) will die of hunger
and the common people will be parched with thirst.(AH)
14 Therefore Death(AI) expands its jaws,
opening wide its mouth;(AJ)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
with all their brawlers and revelers.(AK)
15 So people will be brought low(AL)
and everyone humbled,(AM)
the eyes of the arrogant(AN) humbled.
16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted(AO) by his justice,(AP)
and the holy God will be proved holy(AQ) by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;(AR)
lambs will feed[d] among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe(AS) to those who draw sin along with cords(AT) of deceit,
and wickedness(AU) as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten(AV) his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One(AW) of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”(AX)
20 Woe(AY) to those who call evil good(AZ)
and good evil,(BA)
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,(BB)
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.(BC)
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes(BD)
and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine(BE)
and champions at mixing drinks,(BF)
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,(BG)
but deny justice(BH) to the innocent.(BI)
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire(BJ) lick up straw(BK)
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay(BL)
and their flowers blow away like dust;(BM)
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word(BN) of the Holy One(BO) of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger(BP) burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,(BQ)
and the dead bodies(BR) are like refuse(BS) in the streets.(BT)
26 He lifts up a banner(BW) for the distant nations,
he whistles(BX) for those at the ends of the earth.(BY)
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(BZ) or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(CA) is loosened at the waist,(CB)
not a sandal strap is broken.(CC)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(CD)
all their bows(CE) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(CF) seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(CG)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(CH)
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(CI) their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.(CJ)
30 In that day(CK) they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.(CL)
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness(CM) and distress;(CN)
even the sun will be darkened(CO) by clouds.
