⁷ Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.^(A)

⁸ You transplanted a vine^(B) from Egypt;
    you drove out^(C) the nations and planted^(D) it.
⁹ You cleared the ground for it,
    and it took root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade,
    the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹ Its branches reached as far as the Sea,^[a]
    its shoots as far as the River.^[b](E)

¹² Why have you broken down its walls^(F)
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
¹³ Boars from the forest ravage^(G) it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.
¹⁴ Return to us, God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!^(H)
Watch over this vine,
¹⁵     the root your right hand has planted,
    the son^[c] you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁶ Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;^(I)
    at your rebuke^(J) your people perish.
¹⁷ Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man^(K) you have raised up for yourself.
¹⁸ Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive^(L) us, and we will call on your name.

¹⁹ Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.

³ “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
    judge between me and my vineyard.^(F)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
    than I have done for it?^(G)
When I looked for good grapes,
    why did it yield only bad?^(H)
5 Now I will tell you
    what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
    and it will be destroyed;^(I)
I will break down its wall,^(J)
    and it will be trampled.^(K)
6 I will make it a wasteland,^(L)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns^(M) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain^(N) on it.”

⁷ The vineyard^(O) of the Lord Almighty
    is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
    are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,^(P) but saw bloodshed;
    for righteousness,^(Q) but heard cries of distress.^(R)

“Sing^(B) about a fruitful vineyard:^(C)
3     I, the Lord, watch over it;
    I water^(D) it continually.
I guard^(E) it day and night
    so that no one may harm^(F) it.
⁴     I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
    I would march against them in battle;
    I would set them all on fire.^(G)
5 Or else let them come to me for refuge;^(H)
    let them make peace^(I) with me,
    yes, let them make peace with me.”

⁶ In days to come Jacob will take root,^(J)
    Israel will bud and blossom^(K)
    and fill all the world with fruit.^(L)
