Isaiah 18:5
English Standard Version
5 (A)For before the harvest, when the blossom is over,
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,
and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.
Isaiah 17:10-11
English Standard Version
10 For (A)you have forgotten the God of your salvation
and have not remembered the (B)Rock of your refuge;
therefore, though you plant pleasant plants
and sow the vine-branch of a stranger,
11 though you make them grow[a] on the day that you plant them,
and make them blossom in the morning that you sow,
yet the harvest will flee away[b]
in a day of grief and incurable pain.

Ezekiel 17:6-10
English Standard Version
6 and it sprouted and became a (A)low (B)spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out boughs.
7 (C)“And there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage, (D)and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and shot forth its branches toward him from (E)the bed where it was planted, that he might water it. 8 (F)It had been planted on good soil by abundant waters, that it might produce branches and bear fruit and become a noble vine.
9 “Say, Thus says the Lord God: (G)Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers, so that all its fresh sprouting leaves wither? It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it from its roots. 10 Behold, it is planted; will it thrive? (H)Will it not utterly wither when the east wind strikes it—wither away on the bed where it sprouted?”
