On that day,
“A [a](A)vineyard of beauty, sing of it!
I, the Lord, am its keeper;
(B)I water it every moment.
So that no one will [b]damage it,
I (C)guard it night and day.
I have no wrath.
Should [c]someone give Me (D)briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, (E)I would burn them [d]completely.
Or let him [e](F)rely on My protection,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him (G)make peace with Me.”
[f]In the days to come Jacob (H)will take root,
Israel will (I)blossom and sprout,
And they will fill the [g]whole world with (J)fruit.
