1I’m about to drop a lit song for my homie about his vineyard. My homie’s got a vineyard on this dope hill.

2He put up a fence, cleared the rocks, planted the best vines, built a tower, and set up a winepress. He was expecting grapes, but got wild grapes instead.

3Yo, Jerusalem peeps and Judah squad, let’s vibe check between me and my vineyard.

4What more could I have done for my vineyard that I didn’t? Like, I thought it would give me grapes, but it’s just wild grapes?

5Alright, peep this; I’m about to spill the tea on my vineyard: I’ll take down the fence, and it’ll get wrecked; I’ll break the wall, and it’ll be trampled.

6I’m gonna leave it in ruins: no pruning, no digging; just thorns and briers popping up. I’ll even tell the clouds to chill and not rain on it.

7The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel, and Judah is his fave plant: he wanted justice, but all he saw was oppression; he wanted righteousness, but all he heard was cries.

8Big yikes to those who stack houses and fields until there’s no space left, just so they can flex in the middle of nowhere!

9For real, the Lord of hosts said, “Facts, many houses are gonna be empty, even the nice ones, with no one living in them.”

10For real, ten acres of vineyard will only give one bath, and a homer’s seed will only yield an ephah.

11Yo, watch out for those who wake up mad early just to chase drinks; they keep it going till night when the wine hits different!

12They got harps, viols, and wine at their parties, but they totally ignore what God’s doing, like, sus vibes.

13So, my crew’s in a rough spot 'cause they ain’t got the knowledge; their top peeps are starving, and everyone’s thirsty, fr.

14For real, hell’s getting bigger and just opening its mouth wide; all their glory and hype are gonna drop right in there.

15The average Joe’s gonna get knocked down, and even the strong ones will be humbled; the high and mighty will see what’s up.

16But the Lord’s gonna pop off in judgment, and God’s holiness is gonna shine in righteousness, periodt.

17Then the little lambs will chill and eat like they should, while strangers munch on the leftovers from the big ones.

18Yo, woe to those who pull in sin like it’s a vibe, using vanity like a rope, no cap.

19They’re like, “Hurry up, God! Show us what’s good!” and want the Holy One of Israel to roll up so they can see it!

20Woe to those who flip the script, calling bad good and good bad; they swap light for dark and sweet for bitter, that’s just wild!

21Yo, major red flag for those who think they’re all that and wise in their own vibe.

22Major no cap for those who can down wine like champs and mix up the strong stuff.

23They’re out here justifying the sus moves for cash, taking away the good from the good peeps!

24So, like, fire's gonna eat up the weak stuff, and their roots will be straight up trash, 'cause they ditched God's law and dissed the Holy One’s word.

25For real, God’s got beef with His crew, and He’s throwing down hard; the hills shook and their bodies were everywhere. But still, His anger ain't chillin’, His hand's still out.

26He’s gonna flex an ensign for the nations way out there, and they’ll come in hot, no cap.

27No one’s gonna be tired or trip; nobody’s snoozin’ or slacking; their gear’s all tight, no loose ends.

28Their arrows are sharp, bows are ready, and their horses are like stone, wheels spinnin' like a whirlwind.

29Their roar's like a lion, coming in fierce; they’ll grab the prey and take it safe, no one’s snatching it back.

30On that day, they’ll roar like the sea, and if you peep the land, it’s all dark and sad, light’s totally gone from the skies.

1Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

2And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

3And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

4What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

5And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

6And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

7For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

8Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

9In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

10Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

11Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

12And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

13Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

14Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

15And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:

16But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

17Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

18Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:

19That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!

20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

26And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

27None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

28Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

29Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

30And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
