Isaiah  Deuteronomy

Isaiah chapter 5 covers Moses' Song in the book of Deuteronomy.

^1.1Now I will sing to my well-beloved ^1.2a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. I Deuteronomy 31:30 ^1.3My well-beloved had a vineyard ^1.4on the corner of a fertile land. ^2.1He cultivated it and fenced it ^2.2and planted it with the choicest vines ^2.3and built a watchtower in the middle of it ^2.4and also made a winepress in it ^2.5and he expected that it should bring forth grapes, ^2.6but it brought forth wild grapes. Isaiah 5:1-2^3.1Now, men of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, ^3.2judge between me and my vineyard. ^4.1What more could have been done to my vineyard ^4.2that I have not done in it? ^4.3Therefore, when I expected that it should bring forth grapes ^4.4it brought forth wild grapes. ^5.1Now I will tell you ^5.2what I will do to my vineyard. ^5.3I will demolish its tower ^5.4and it will be for spoil ^5.5and break down its fence ^5.6and it will be trampled down. ^6.1I will lay it waste ^6.2and it will not be pruned nor dug, ^6.3but there will spring up in it briers and thorns. ^6.4I will also command the clouds ^6.5that they rain no rain on it. Isaiah 5:3-6^7.1For the vineyard of the Master of Hosts is the house of Israel ^7.2and the men of Judah his pleasant plant, ^7.3and I looked for justice but oppression, ^7.4for righteousness but a cry. Isaiah 5:7 Woe 1|6 ^8.1Woe to those who trespass the boundaries between houses, ^8.2who remove the landmarks between the fields to steal the land ^8.3that they may live alone ^8.4in the middle of the land. Isaiah 5:8^9.1In my ears, said the Master of Hosts: ^9.2of a truth it has been heard that many houses will be desolate, ^9.3because there will not be anyone to live in them. ^10.1For 10 acres of vineyard will yield but 1 bath ^10.2and a homer of seed will yield but an ephah. Isaiah 5:9-10Woe 2|6 ^11.1Woe to those who rise up early in the morning ^11.2and run after strong drink ^11.3and that continue drinking until night ^11.4until wine inflames them. ^12.1They drink wine with 1|4 harps 2|4 and timbrels ^12.23|4 and tambourines 4|4 and flutes, ^12.3but they do not regard the works of the Master ^12.4nor consider the deeds of his hands. ^13.1Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, ^13.2because they have no knowledge, ^13.3and their dead are multiplied because of the famine ^13.4and have been overcome with thirst. ^14.1Therefore, the grave has enlarged itself ^14.2and opened its mouth without measure ^14.3and the glorious men and the honorable men ^14.4and the mighty men will descend into it. ^15.1The mean man will be humbled ^15.2and the mighty man will be brought down ^15.3and the eyes of the lofty will be humbled, ^16.1but the Master of Hosts will be exalted in judgment ^16.2and the holy God will be holy in righteousness. ^17.1The lambs will feed there in their usual fashion ^17.2and the waste places that will be rebuilt will be the property of the rightful owners. Isaiah 5:11-17Woe 3|6 ^18.1Woe to those who spin out their iniquities like a long rope ^18.2and their sins are like a bridle on the neck of a heifer, ^19.1who say, Let the Master make speed ^19.2and hurry his works ^19.3that we may see them ^19.4and let the counsel of the holy one of Israel draw near ^19.5and let it come ^19.6that we may know it. Isaiah 5:18-19Woe 4|6 ^20.1Woe to those who call evil, Good, ^20.2and good, Evil, ^20.3who put darkness for light ^20.4and light for darkness, ^20.5who put bitter for sweet ^20.6and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20Woe 5|6 ^21.1Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes ^21.2and prudent in their own sight. S Deuteronomy 12:8 Isaiah 5:21Woe 6|6 ^22.1Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine ^22.2and strong men who mix strong drink, ^23.1who justify the guilty because of his bribe ^23.2and take away justice from the righteous. ^24.1Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble ^24.2and the flame consumes the chaff ^24.3so they will be consumed by the flame ^24.4and their root will be as dust ^24.5and their blossom will go up like chaff, ^24.6because they have rejected the law of the Master of Hosts ^24.7and despised the command of the holy one of Israel. ^25.1Therefore, the anger of the Master is kindled against his people ^25.2and he has stretched forth his hand against them and has struck them ^25.3and the mountains trembled ^25.4and their carcasses were like mud in the streets. Isaiah 5:22-25^25.5For all this his anger is not turned away, ^25.6but his hand is stretched out still. Isaiah 5:25.5-25^26.1He will lift up an ensign to the peoples from far away ^26.2and will whistle to them from the end of the land ^26.3and they will come ^26.4swiftly with speed. ^27.1They will not be weary nor stumble, ^27.2they will not slumber nor sleep ^27.3nor will the belt of their loins be loosed ^27.4nor the lace of their shoes be broken. ^28.1Their arrows are sharp ^28.2and their bows are bent, ^28.3their horses' hoofs will be counted like flint ^28.4and their wheels like a whirlwind. ^29.1Their roaring will be like a lion ^29.2and like the young lions ^29.3that roar and take hold on the prey ^29.4and carry it off and no one will deliver it. ^30.1In that day he will roar against them ^30.2like the roaring of the sea ^30.3and if they look to the land ^30.4there will be darkness and distress ^30.5and the light will be darkened with thick darkness. Isaiah 5:26-30

(Isaiah 5 BRB)

Isaiah says I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. This aligns with the song Moses sang in Deuteronomy about Israel, a song which refers to Israel as a vine and grapes (Deut 31:30-73).
