然我植爾為嘉葡萄、出於嘉種、爾奚變為異種葡萄之劣枝乎、

昔我肇造爾邦、若植葡萄、擇其嘉種。迄於今、嘉者奚變為劣。

I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine?

You were like a good vine when I planted you. You were a healthy plant. Then how did you turn against me? How did you become a bad, wild vine?

Yet I planted you a choice vine, wholly of pure seed. How then have you turned degenerate and become a wild vine?

But I was the one who planted you, choosing a vine of the purest stock— the very best. How did you grow into this corrupt wild vine?

I planted you, a choice vine from the very best seed. How then could you turn into a degenerate, foreign vine?

Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a seed of highest quality. How then have you turned before Me Into the degenerate plant of an alien vine?

Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine unto me?

I planted you in the land like a special vine of the very best stock. Why in the world have you turned into something like a wild vine that produces rotten, foul-smelling grapes?

Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a pure and faithful seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

What more was there to do for My vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce worthless ones?

You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, The place, Lord, which You have made as Your dwelling, The sanctuary, Lord, which Your hands have established.

You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.

“ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

You with Your own hand drove out the nations; Then You planted them; You afflicted the peoples, Then You let them go free.

For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, And from the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of poison, Their clusters, bitter.

But He began to tell the people this parable:“ A man planted a vineyard and leased it to vine growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

“ Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and he leased it to vine growers and went on a journey.

Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them. And He personally brought you from Egypt by His great power,

“ But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, Descendant of Abraham My friend,

You descendants of Abraham, His servant, You sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

Live for a time in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham.I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,because Abraham obeyed Me and fulfilled his duty to Me, and kept My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

Then he said,“ Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

How the faithful city has become a prostitute, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once dwelt in her, But now murderers.

For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.”

Let me sing now for my beloved A song of my beloved about His vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.He dug it all around, cleared it of stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. And He built a tower in the middle of it, And also carved out a wine vat in it; Then He expected it to produce good grapes, But it produced only worthless ones.

To grant those who mourn in Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The cloak of praise instead of a disheartened spirit. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, and had known every deed of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

Then all your people will be righteous; They will possess the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified.

How dark the gold has become, How the pure gold has changed! The sacred stones are spilled out At the corner of every street.
