Isaiah 5

Treated in 23 passages across the library.

  • 5:20 Woe to those who name evil as good and good as evil, who turn darkness into light and light into darkness, who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter. 10
  • 5:2 He broke up its soil, removed the stones, and set out vines of the finest kind. He built a tower in the middle of it and also hewed out a wine vat there. He waited for it to bear grapes, but what it bore was stinking fruit. 3
  • 5:1 Let me sing a song for my dear friend, my friend's song about his vineyard: My friend owned a vineyard on a hilltop rich in soil. 2
  • 5:4 What else could I have done for my vineyard that I left undone? I waited for it to bear grapes; why did it bear stinking ones? 2
  • 5:8 Woe to those who buy up house after house and attach field after field, until no room is left and you are settled all alone in the heart of the land. 2
  • 5:3 Now then, people of Jerusalem and people of Judah, be the judges between me and my vineyard. 1
  • 5:5 So now I will let you know what I mean to do to my vineyard: I will pull up its hedge so that it is grazed bare; I will knock down its wall so that it is trampled. 1
  • 5:6 I will lay it waste. No one will prune it or hoe around its vines; thorns and briers will spring up. I will even forbid the clouds to drop rain on it. 1
  • 5:7 The vineyard of the LORD of Armies is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are the planting that delighted him. He waited for justice, but what he found was bloodshed; for righteousness, but what he heard was a cry of the wronged. 1
  • 5:11 Woe to those who get up at dawn to chase after beer, who linger late into the evening until wine sets them on fire. 1
  • 5:14 So Sheol has stretched its throat wide and opened its jaws beyond measure, and down into it go the city's nobles and its crowds, its noisy throng and all who revel in it. 1
  • 5:16 But the LORD of Armies stands high in justice, and the holy God shows that he is holy by acting in righteousness. 1
  • 5:19 They say, "Let him be quick and hurry up with his work, so we can see it! May the plan of the Holy One of Israel draw near and arrive, so we can know it!" 1
  • 5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own view and shrewd as they see themselves. 1
  • 5:22 Woe to the mighty warriors of the wine cup, the valiant men who excel at blending strong drink, 1
  • 5:23 who declare the guilty innocent in exchange for a bribe and rob the righteous of their righteous cause. 1
