11 Solomon owned a vineyard in Baal-hamon.(A)
He leased the vineyard to tenants.(B)
Each was to bring for his fruit
1,000 pieces of silver.(C)
12 I have my own vineyard.[a](D)
The 1,000 are for you, Solomon,
but 200 for those who guard its fruits.

11 Solomon has a vineyard at Baal-hamon,

Each of them pays a thousand pieces of silver

12 But my vineyard is mine to give,
    and Solomon need not pay a thousand pieces of silver.
But I will give two hundred pieces
    to those who care for its vines.
