Or like [c]branches which they forsook before the sons of Israel;
And [d]the land will be a desolation.

And have not remembered the (C)rock of your strong defense.
Therefore you plant delightful plants
And set them with vine branches of a strange god.

And in the (D)morning you cause your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will (E)be a heap
In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.
