Psalm 80:8-16
New International Version
8 You transplanted a vine(A) from Egypt;
you drove out(B) the nations and planted(C) it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[a]
its shoots as far as the River.[b](D)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(E)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(F) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(G)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[c] you have raised up for yourself.

New International Version
The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(A)
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.(B)
He built a watchtower(C) in it
and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(F)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(G)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(H)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(I)
I will break down its wall,(J)
and it will be trampled.(K)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(L)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(M) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(N) on it.”
Isaiah 27:2-6
New International Version
2 In that day(A)—
“Sing(B) about a fruitful vineyard:(C)
3 I, the Lord, watch over it;
I water(D) it continually.
I guard(E) it day and night
so that no one may harm(F) it.
4 I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
I would march against them in battle;
I would set them all on fire.(G)
5 Or else let them come to me for refuge;(H)
let them make peace(I) with me,
yes, let them make peace with me.”
Jeremiah 2:21
New International Version
