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?

然而，我栽你是上等的葡萄树，全然是真种子；你怎么向我变为外邦葡萄树的坏枝子呢？

你原本是我栽种的上等葡萄树，是最好的品种。你怎么自甘堕落，变成了野葡萄？

我栽你时原是上等的葡萄树，是绝对纯种的；你怎么在我面前变为坏枝子，成了野葡萄呢？

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。

昔我植爾為嘉葡萄樹、種盡真種、今奚變為壞葡萄樹、枝悉惡劣、

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 planted you as a choice vine, A completely faithful seed. How then have you turned yourself before Me Into the degenerate shoots of a foreign 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, a choice vine from the very best seed. How then could you turn into a degenerate, foreign vine?

Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange 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 could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?

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

You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it.

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

You drove out the nations with Your hand, But them You planted; You afflicted the peoples, and cast them out.

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

Then He began to tell the people this parable:“ A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

“ Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.

Then He began to speak to them in parables:“ A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.

And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them; and He brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power,

“ But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.

O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

And He said,“ Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it, But now murderers.

For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard On a very fruitful hill.He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, But it brought forth wild grapes.

To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees 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 outlived Joshua, who had known all the works of the Lord which He had done for Israel.

Also your people shall all be righteous; They shall inherit the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified.

How the gold has become dim! How changed the fine gold! The stones of the sanctuary are scattered At the head of every street.
