- Psalms 80:8 - Remember how you brought a young vine from Egypt, cleared out the brambles and briers and planted your very own vineyard?

Your vine ranged west to the Sea, east to the River. So why do you no longer protect your vine? Trespassers pick its grapes at will; Wild pigs crash through and crush it, and the mice nibble away at what’s left. God-of-the-Angel-Armies, turn our way! Take a good look at what’s happened and attend to this vine. Care for what you once tenderly planted— the vine you raised from a shoot. And those who dared to set it on fire— give them a look that will kill! Then take the hand of your once-favorite child, the child you raised to adulthood. We will never turn our back on you; breathe life into our lungs so we can shout your name!

- Isaiah 5:7 - Do you get it? The vineyard of God-of-the-Angel-Armies is the country of Israel. All the men and women of Judah are the garden he was so proud of.

- Hosea 10:1 - Israel was once a lush vine, bountiful in grapes. The more lavish the harvest, the more promiscuous the worship.

God will smash their worship shrines, pulverize their god-images.
