Hosea 10:1-2

English Standard Version

10 ^(A)Israel is a luxuriant vine
    that yields its fruit.
The more his fruit increased,
    ^(B)the more altars he built;
as his country improved,
    he improved his pillars.
²Their heart is false;
    now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord^[a] will break down their altars
    and destroy their pillars.

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.
²He 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.

³And 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?

⁵And 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.
⁶I 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]

Parable of Two Eagles and a Vine

17 The word of the Lord came to me: ²^(A)“Son of man, ^(B)propound a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel; ³say, Thus says the Lord God: ^(C)A great eagle ^(D)with great wings and long pinions, ^(E)rich in plumage of many colors, came ^(F)to Lebanon ^(G)and took the top of the cedar. ⁴He broke off the topmost of its young twigs and carried it to a land of trade and set it in a city of merchants. ⁵Then he took of the seed of the land ^(H)and planted it in fertile soil.^[a] He placed it beside abundant waters. ^(I)He set it like a willow twig, ⁶and it sprouted and became a ^(J)low ^(K)spreading vine, and its branches turned toward him, and its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out boughs.

⁷^(L)“And there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage, ^(M)and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and shot forth its branches toward him from ^(N)the bed where it was planted, that he might water it. ⁸^(O)It had been planted on good soil by abundant waters, that it might produce branches and bear fruit and become a noble vine.

⁹“Say, Thus says the Lord God: ^(P)Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers, so that all its fresh sprouting leaves wither? It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it from its roots. ¹⁰Behold, it is planted; will it thrive? ^(Q)Will it not utterly wither when the east wind strikes it—wither away on the bed where it sprouted?”

¹¹Then the word of the Lord came to me: ¹²“Say now to ^(R)the rebellious house, ^(S)Do you not know what these things mean? Tell them, behold, ^(T)the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took her king and her princes and brought them to him to Babylon. ¹³^(U)And he took one of the royal offspring^[b] ^(V)and made a covenant with him, ^(W)putting him under oath (^(X)the chief men of the land he had taken away), ¹⁴that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up, and keep his covenant that it might stand. ¹⁵^(Y)But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors ^(Z)to Egypt, that they might give him horses and a large army. ^(AA)Will he thrive? Can one escape who does such things? Can he ^(AB)break the covenant and yet escape?

¹⁶^(AC)“As I live, declares the Lord God, surely ^(AD)in the place where the king dwells ^(AE)who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, in Babylon he shall die. ¹⁷^(AF)Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in war, ^(AG)when mounds are cast up and siege walls built to cut off many lives. ¹⁸He despised the oath in breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and did all these things; he shall not escape. ¹⁹Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely it is my oath that he despised, and my covenant that he broke. I will return it upon his head. ²⁰^(AH)I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon ^(AI)and enter into judgment with him there ^(AJ)for the treachery he has committed against me. ²¹And all the pick^[c] of his troops shall fall by the sword, ^(AK)and the survivors shall be scattered to every wind, and you shall know that ^(AL)I am the Lord; I have spoken.”

Ezekiel 19:10-14

English Standard Version

¹⁰Your mother was ^(A)like a vine in a vineyard^[a]
    planted by the water,
^(B)fruitful and full of branches
    ^(C)by reason of abundant water.
¹¹Its strong stems became
    rulers' scepters;
it towered aloft
    among the thick boughs;^[b]
it was seen in its height
    with the mass of its branches.
¹²But the vine was plucked up in fury,
    cast down to the ground;
^(D)the east wind dried up its fruit;
    they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
    fire consumed it.
¹³^(E)Now it is planted in the wilderness,
    in a dry and thirsty land.
¹⁴^(F)And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots,
    has consumed its fruit,
^(G)so that there remains in it no strong stem,
    no scepter for ruling.
