Isaiah 5

Isaiah 5

1 Just like it was, for the oil/ointment in a well-beloved Uncle's vineyard (ref: song of Solomon), strolling men shall sing songs to a Son in a vineyard, even a Well-beloved One, for His beam of light/fund/capital. 

2 just like someone have to build towers in the midst of winepress for you to expect whistling sound, and someone have to hew out for you to stone/lapidate, so someone will have to break up the ground for planting to produce grapes or produce sour-grapes.

3 To the men of Jerusalem and Judah, who usually sit down in their vineyard to judge;

4 having done what you should do in a vineyard, and expect it to produce grapes, for what reason should sour-grapes be produced? 

5 I know what you will do, you will burn the fence, you will break down the wall of the vineyard, trample on the ground and turn away from it.

6 Now, place/position yourself here, for you to have commanded your own daughter to ascend under thick-cloud of rain, and as it was raining, she was hoeing ground and pruning all the briars/thorns, as though, she is like a miraculous object for hard work (Shamir). 

7 The house of Israel is the plant in the vineyard of Jehovah of (heavenly) army, WHO expects a scream of enjoyment from kinship of the men of Judah due to HIS verdicts on righteousness:

8 Alas to all those who sit down in the midst of the earth! Because this touches houses, fields, those who come near the houses and fields unto the end of every places.

9 it is NOT a good thing in the ears of Jehovah of (heavenly) army, from abundant of great-persons who sit down over every household THERE.

10 with one pair (of oxen) on a vineyard, there could be ten ephah of seeds or a Homer and can also produce some baths. (1bath=1/10 Homer =1 ephah) 

11 Alas to those who start early in the morning to pursue strong drinks and delay till dusk, because wine is inflammable or is like fuel.

12 wine is for a banquet/feast, while skin-bottle-musical instruments, harps, tambourine and flutes are for you to see the work that sprout out from the activities of the Hand of Jehovah;

13 by knowledge, the glory of adults will be revealed, and there will be a glowing/clear hunger and thirst for it, by our people and even the crowds.

14 instead of being jubilant in the magnificence of HIS statutes/decrees, the uproar from crowd is only enlarging the wide-open mouths of sheol in which their souls will descend. 

15 just as Adam was humiliated and sunk, arrogant eyes of men are being humiliated.

16 verdicts of righteousness in the holy of holies of Jehovah of (Heavenly) army, would have sanctified the main-leader who was lofty/proud. 

17 He would have spoken just a word, for the lambs to be tended/fed, for blotting out of devouring one anothers and for ruined-lands to be sojourned.

18 just like those who draw carts/wagon with rope (shame!), and oh no! , unto those who are thickened/dense in iniquities and sins unto their self destruct.

19 it is said, Israel, come to the Holy of holies, make haste to know HIS counsel, approach to see and sense/feel HIS activities.

20 oh no! to those who say evil is good or good is evil, and who put darkness as light or light as darkness or put bitter things as sweet or sweet things as bitter.

21 alas, to a wise person who in his own eyes understand things but only on the surface. - 

22 alas, to a warrior who drink strong-drinks and wine and his force/capability is covered or screened from mortal-men.

23 the wicked has turned away from righteousness into bribe, but only the Righteous will be justified.

24 just as the rottenness of calyx/flower will ascend from its root, those with apprehension/anxiety are like light-particle, and they will detest the law (Torah) of Jehovah of (Heavenly) army. Just as flaming fire will devour straw, and when the tongue of those who are feeble in Israel despised the Words in the Holy of holies, 

25 then, the anger of Jehovah blazed up in their midst, mountain shook, and our people were slain, but someone spread out hands. Even as carcases were outside in a dry weather, someone still spread out hands to turn back the anger. (refrerence to Moses). 

26 lift up a light/simple flag/signs to the heathen-nations, whistle far away to the extreme end of the earth, for them to come quickly.

27 only those who are wearied will totter, and only those who are drowsy will sleep. So, they should tear off the lace on their sandals, and with belt on their loins, they should open up;

28 sharpen the arrow for the bow and contrive how the wheels and horses' hoofs will tread in tight place like whirlwind, 

29 let their rumbling be like a roaring of a lion, who escape, and growl like a prey that is delivered from being seized by an infidel in a village.

30 in that day, things in the sea will growl, there will be grumbling of things in the darkness of tight places, and mists will sprout out to darken the light on the earth.
