You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.

A Hymn of Faith

17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—

And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely (B)joy has withered away from the sons of men.

Its branches are made white.

  1. Jeremiah 25:10 Lit. cause to perish from them

(A)The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
The mirth (B)of the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.
They shall not drink wine with a song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down;
Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.
11 There is a cry for wine in the streets,
All joy is darkened,
The mirth of the land is gone.
12 In the city desolation is left,
And the gate is stricken with destruction.

10 (A)Gladness is taken away,
And joy from the plentiful field;
In the vineyards there will be no singing,
Nor will there be shouting;
No treaders will tread out wine in the presses;
I have made their shouting cease.

And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
(A)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
I will lay it (B)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [a]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (C)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”

  1. Isaiah 5:6 hoed

17 Therefore the Lord will strike with (A)a scab
The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion,
And the Lord will (B)uncover their secret parts.”

18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
The jingling anklets, the [a]scarves, and the (C)crescents;
19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
The perfume boxes, the charms,
21     and the rings;
The nose jewels,
22     the festal apparel, and the mantles;
The outer garments, the purses,
23     and the mirrors;
The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.

24 And so it shall be:

Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench;
Instead of a sash, a rope;
Instead of well-set hair, (D)baldness;
Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth;
And [b]branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword,
And your [c]mighty in the war.

26 (E)Her gates shall lament and mourn,
And she being desolate (F)shall sit on the ground.
