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?

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 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, 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?

What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield wild grapes?

You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Yahweh, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Lord, which your hands have established.

You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

“ I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.

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

He began to tell the people this parable.“ A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

“ Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

He began to speak to them in parables.“ A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their offspring after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;

“ But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,

you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For I will give to you, and to your offspring, all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and will give all these lands to your offspring. In your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed,because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

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

How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

Let me sing for my well beloved a song of my beloved about his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.He dug it up, gathered out its stones, planted it with the choicest vine, built a tower in the middle of it, and also cut out a wine press in it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland 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 Yahweh, that he may be glorified.

Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Yahweh, that he had worked for Israel.

Then your people will all be righteous. They will 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! The most pure gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
