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;^(A)
I will break down its wall,^(B)
    and it will be trampled.^(C)

“Surely the great houses will become desolate,^(C)
    the fine mansions left without occupants.

¹⁵ “Although you have been forsaken^(A) and hated,
    with no one traveling^(B) through,
I will make you the everlasting pride^(C)
    and the joy^(D) of all generations.

²⁹ At the sound of horsemen and archers^(A)
    every town takes to flight.^(B)
Some go into the thickets;
    some climb up among the rocks.^(C)
All the towns are deserted;^(D)
    no one lives in them.

¹⁷ But I will restore you to health
    and heal^(A) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,^(B)
    Zion for whom no one cares.’^(C)
