WEBVTT 00:00.540 --> 00:01.540 Chapter 5. 00:02.320 --> 00:06.740 Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. 00:07.280 --> 00:12.380 My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill, and he fenced it, 00:12.760 --> 00:16.740 and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, 00:17.180 --> 00:21.260 and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein. 00:21.640 --> 00:26.480 And he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. 00:27.020 --> 00:31.960 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, 00:32.420 --> 00:33.980 betwixt me and my vineyard. 00:34.380 --> 00:38.120 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? 00:38.760 --> 00:43.720 Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild 00:43.720 --> 00:47.900 grapes, and now go to, I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. 00:48.440 --> 00:52.860 I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up, and break down 00:52.860 --> 00:57.440 the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down, and I will lay it waste. 00:57.980 --> 01:03.280 It shall not be pruned nor digged, but there shall come up briars and thorns. 01:03.820 --> 01:07.860 I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 01:08.200 --> 01:12.920 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah 01:12.920 --> 01:14.020 his pleasant plant. 01:14.520 --> 01:18.900 And he looked for judgment, but behold oppression, for righteousness, 01:19.640 --> 01:20.900 but behold a cry. 01:22.200 --> 01:27.680 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no 01:27.680 --> 01:31.300 place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth. 01:31.960 --> 01:34.200 In mine ears said the Lord of hosts. 01:35.060 --> 01:40.300 Of a truth, many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 01:40.880 --> 01:45.760 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of Enomer shall yield 01:45.760 --> 01:46.260 an ephah. 01:47.020 --> 01:50.860 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong 01:50.860 --> 01:54.720 drink, that continue until night, till wine inflame them. 01:55.420 --> 02:00.660 And the harp and the vial, the tabret and pipe and wine, are in their feasts. 02:01.240 --> 02:05.340 But they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his 02:05.340 --> 02:05.760 hands. 02:06.420 --> 02:10.800 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge. 02:11.280 --> 02:15.480 And their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 02:15.820 --> 02:20.120 Therefore held hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure, 02:20.640 --> 02:23.560 and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp. 02:24.260 --> 02:27.260 And he that rejoiceth shall descend into it. 02:27.820 --> 02:32.620 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, 02:33.220 --> 02:35.300 and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled. 02:35.940 --> 02:41.420 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be 02:41.420 --> 02:42.640 sanctified in righteousness. 02:43.300 --> 02:48.280 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat 02:48.280 --> 02:49.820 ones shall strangers eat. 02:50.960 --> 02:56.060 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a 02:56.060 --> 02:56.660 cart rope. 02:57.140 --> 03:01.620 That say, let him make speed and hasten his work, that we may see it. 03:02.140 --> 03:06.120 And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may 03:06.120 --> 03:06.600 know it. 03:07.260 --> 03:10.520 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil. 03:10.980 --> 03:14.380 That put darkness for light, and light for darkness. 03:14.980 --> 03:17.480 That put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. 03:18.340 --> 03:22.920 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight. 03:23.840 --> 03:28.160 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong 03:28.160 --> 03:28.540 drink. 03:28.980 --> 03:33.420 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the 03:33.420 --> 03:34.280 righteous from him. 03:34.840 --> 03:39.060 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the 03:39.060 --> 03:43.880 chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up 03:43.880 --> 03:44.440 as dust. 03:45.040 --> 03:49.880 Because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of 03:49.880 --> 03:50.860 the Holy One of Israel. 03:51.480 --> 03:55.940 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched 03:55.940 --> 03:59.080 forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them. 03:59.620 --> 04:04.120 And the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the 04:04.120 --> 04:04.500 streets. 04:05.400 --> 04:10.440 For all this is anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 04:10.740 --> 04:15.740 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them 04:15.740 --> 04:16.880 from the end of the earth. 04:17.520 --> 04:20.560 And behold, they shall come with speed swiftly. 04:21.200 --> 04:23.440 None shall be weary, nor stumble among them. 04:24.220 --> 04:25.840 None shall slumber, nor sleep. 04:26.580 --> 04:31.140 Neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be 04:31.140 --> 04:31.480 broken. 04:32.120 --> 04:37.540 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted 04:37.540 --> 04:40.460 like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind. 04:41.260 --> 04:45.340 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions. 04:45.860 --> 04:50.480 Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, 04:51.060 --> 04:52.420 and none shall deliver it. 04:52.940 --> 04:56.960 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea. 04:57.440 --> 05:02.160 And if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light 05:02.160 --> 05:03.900 is darkened in the heavens thereof.
