Yesaya 5:5-6

5:5 Now I will inform you

what I am about to do to my vineyard:

I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, ¹ 

I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there. ² 

5:6 I will make it a wasteland;

no one will prune its vines or hoe its ground, ³ 

and thorns and briers will grow there.

I will order the clouds

not to drop any rain on it.

Yesaya 24:7

24:7 The new wine dries up,

the vines shrivel up,

all those who like to celebrate ⁴  groan.

[5:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and it will become [a place for] grazing.” בָּעַר (ba’ar, “grazing”) is a homonym of the more often used verb “to burn.”

[5:5]  ² tn Heb “and it will become a trampled place” (NASB “trampled ground”).

[5:6]  ³ tn Heb “it will not be pruned or hoed” (so NASB); ASV and NRSV both similar.

[24:7]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “all the joyful in heart,” but the context specifies the context as parties and drinking bouts.
