² In that day,
^(A)“A pleasant vineyard,^{[a] (B)}sing of it!
³     I, the Lord, am its keeper;
    every moment I water it.
    Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;

⁸ You brought ^(A)a vine out of Egypt;
    you ^(B)drove out the nations and planted it.
⁹ You ^(C)cleared the ground for it;
    it took deep root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade,
    the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹ It sent out its branches to ^(D)the sea
    and its shoots to ^(E)the River.^[a]
12 Why then have you ^(F)broken down its walls,
    so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
^13 (G)The boar from the forest ravages it,
    and all that move in the field feed on it.

¹⁴ Turn again, O God of hosts!
    ^(H)Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
¹⁵     the stock that your right hand planted,
    and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
¹⁶ They have ^(I)burned it with fire; they have ^(J)cut it down;
    may they perish at ^(K)the rebuke of your face!
¹⁷ But ^(L)let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
    the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
¹⁸ Then we shall not turn back from you;
    ^(M)give us life, and we will call upon your name!

^19 (N)Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
    Let your face shine, that we may be saved!

³ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem
    and men of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
^4 (D)What more was there to do for my vineyard,
    that I have not done in it?
^(E)When I looked for it to yield grapes,
    why did it yield wild grapes?

⁵ And now I will tell you
    what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove ^(F)its hedge,
    and it shall be devoured;^[a]
(G)I will break down its wall,
    and it shall be trampled down.
⁶ I will make it a waste;
    it shall not be pruned or hoed,
    and ^(H)briers and thorns shall grow up;
^(I)I will also command the clouds
    that they rain no rain upon it.

^7 (J)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
    is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
    are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
    but behold, bloodshed;^[b]
for righteousness,
    but behold, an outcry!^[c]
