This is what the Lord says to me:
    “I will remain quiet(A) and will look on from my dwelling place,(B)
like shimmering heat in the sunshine,(C)
    like a cloud of dew(D) in the heat of harvest.”
For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone
    and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he will cut off(E) the shoots with pruning knives,
    and cut down and take away the spreading branches.(F)

For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
