² “On that day, sing of the vineyard of red wine!

³ “I, the LORD, keep it. I will water it every moment, lest anyone hurt it. I will keep it night and day.

⁴ “Anger is not in Me. Who would set the briers and the thorns against Me in battle? I would go through them. I would burn them, together.

⁵ “Or will he feel My strength, so that he may make peace with Me, be at one with Me?”
