The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed
5 Let me sing for my beloved
my love song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had (A)a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with (B)choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and (C)he looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
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?

The Song of the Vineyard
5 I will sing for the one I love
a song about his vineyard:(A)
My loved one had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside.
2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
and planted it with the choicest vines.(B)
He built a watchtower(C) in it
and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)

English Standard Version
17 But if (A)some of the branches were broken off, and you, (B)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[a] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you (C)stand fast through faith. So (D)do not become proud, but (E)fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, (F)provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise (G)you too will be cut off. 23 And (H)even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

Romans 11:17-24
New International Version
17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(A) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(B) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(C) 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.(D) Do not be arrogant,(E) but tremble.(F) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness(G) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(H) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(I) 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(J) 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree,(K) how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

Psalm 80:8-16
English Standard Version
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!

so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(F) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.

Look down from heaven and see!(G)
Watch over this vine,

the son[c] you have raised up for yourself.
