Isaiah 5:17-30

5:17

Then shall the lambs
<03532>

feed
<07462> (8804)

after their manner
<01699>_,

and the waste places
<02723>

of the fat ones
<04220>

shall strangers
<01481> (8802)

eat
<0398> (8799)_.

5:18

Woe
<01945>

unto them that draw
<04900> (8802)

iniquity
<05771>

with cords
<02256>

of vanity
<07723>_,

and sin
<02403>

as it were with a cart
<05699>

rope
<05688>_:

5:19

That say
<0559> (8802)_,

Let him make speed
<04116> (8762)_,

[and] hasten
<02363> (8686)

his work
<04639>_,

that we may see
<07200> (8799)

[it]: and let the counsel
<06098>

of the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>

draw nigh
<07126> (8799)

and come
<0935> (8799)_,

that we may know
<03045> (8799)

[it]!

5:20

Woe
<01945>

unto them that call
<0559> (8802)

evil
<07451>

good
<02896>_,

and good
<02896>

evil
<07451>_;

that put
<07760> (8802)

darkness
<02822>

for light
<0216>_,

and light
<0216>

for darkness
<02822>_;

that put
<07760> (8802)

bitter
<04751>

for sweet
<04966>_,

and sweet
<04966>

for bitter
<04751>_!

{call...: Heb. say concerning evil, It is good, etc}

5:21

Woe
<01945>

unto [them that are] wise
<02450>

in their own eyes
<05869>_,

and prudent
<0995> (8737)

in their own sight
<06440>_!

{in their own sight: Heb. before their face}

5:22

Woe
<01945>

unto [them that are] mighty
<01368>

to drink
<08354> (8800)

wine
<03196>_,

and men
<0582>

of strength
<02428>

to mingle
<04537> (8800)

strong drink
<07941>_:

5:23

Which justify
<06663> (8688)

the wicked
<07563>

for
<06118>

reward
<07810>_,

and take away
<05493> (8686)

the righteousness
<06666>

of the righteous
<06662>

from him!

5:24

Therefore as the fire
<0784>

devoureth
<0398> (8800)

the stubble
<07179>_,

and the flame
<03956> <03852>

consumeth
<07503> (8799)

the chaff
<02842>_,

[so] their root
<08328>

shall be as rottenness
<04716>_,

and their blossom
<06525>

shall go up
<05927> (8799)

as dust
<080>_:

because they have cast away
<03988> (8804)

the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and despised
<05006> (8765)

the word
<0565>

of the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{fire: Heb. tongue of fire}

5:25

Therefore is the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

kindled
<02734> (8804)

against his people
<05971>_,

and he hath stretched forth
<05186> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

against them, and hath smitten
<05221> (8686)

them: and the hills
<02022>

did tremble
<07264> (8799)_,

and their carcases
<05038>

[were] torn
<05478>

in the midst
<07130>

of the streets
<02351>_.

For all this his anger
<0639>

is not turned away
<07725> (8804)_,

but his hand
<03027>

[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)

still. {torn: or, as dung}

5:26

And he will lift up
<05375> (8804)

an ensign
<05251>

to the nations
<01471>

from far
<07350>_,

and will hiss
<08319> (8804)

unto them from the end
<07097>

of the earth
<0776>_:

and, behold, they shall come
<0935> (8799)

with speed
<04120>

swiftly
<07031>_:

5:27

None shall be weary
<05889>

nor stumble
<03782> (8802)

among them; none shall slumber
<05123> (8799)

nor sleep
<03462> (8799)_;

neither shall the girdle
<0232>

of their loins
<02504>

be loosed
<06605> (8738)_,

nor the latchet
<08288>

of their shoes
<05275>

be broken
<05423> (8738)_:

5:28

Whose arrows
<02671>

[are] sharp
<08150> (8802)_,

and all their bows
<07198>

bent
<01869> (8803)_,

their horses
<05483>_'

hoofs
<06541>

shall be counted
<02803> (8738)

like flint
<06862>_,

and their wheels
<01534>

like a whirlwind
<05492>_:

5:29

Their roaring
<07581>

[shall be] like a lion
<03833>_,

they shall roar
<07580> (8799) (8675) <07580> (8804)

like young lions
<03715>_:

yea, they shall roar
<05098> (8799)_,

and lay hold
<0270> (8799)

of the prey
<02964>_,

and shall carry [it] away safe
<06403> (8686)_,

and none shall deliver
<05337> (8688)

[it].

5:30

And in that day
<03117>

they shall roar
<05098> (8799)

against them like the roaring
<05100>

of the sea
<03220>_:

and if [one] look
<05027> (8765)

unto the land
<0776>_,

behold darkness
<02822>

[and] sorrow
<06862>_,

and the light
<0216>

is darkened
<02821> (8804)

in the heavens
<06183>

thereof. {sorrow: or, distress} {and the light...: or, when it is light, it shall be dark in the destructions thereof}
