Isaiah 5:8-30
Isaiah said the many sins of Israel they have done which against the Lord.
Woe to who add house to house and join field to field.
Woe 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.
People will go into exile for lack of understanding.
Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit, d wickedness as with cart ropes.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.
Their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty.
Therefor the Lord's anger burns against his people; His anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. He lifts up a banner for the distant nations, he whistles for those at the ends of the earth.
Woe betide those whose wrongdoing causes God to abandon the vineyard (not for ever, though)
Why?
I the land of Judah the vast estates built up at the expense of the poor will become waste land.
Again the prophet denounces pride, luxury, drunkenness, injustice. God will five the signal for the enemy invasion which will overwhelm them.
All of their evildoers will dead for lack for understanding. They deny the righteousness and love bride, deceive and evil.
How?
Do I understanding what I am doing today? Don't be a fool and filled by my own sight, but wise with the sight of the Lord.
