Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.

The Branch of the Lord

In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.

He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit.

The Branch From Jesse

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.

So I weep, as Jazer weeps, for the vines of Sibmah. Heshbon and Elealeh, I drench you with tears! The shouts of joy over your ripened fruit and over your harvests have been stilled.

Yet some gleanings will remain, as when an olive tree is beaten, leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches, four or five on the fruitful boughs,” declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

In that day— “Sing about a fruitful vineyard:

In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.

By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones to be like limestone crushed to pieces, no Asherah poles or incense altars will be left standing.

In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble; the grape harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not come.

Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines

The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.

“Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then each of you will eat fruit from your own vine and fig tree and drink water from your own cistern,

“This will be the sign for you, Hezekiah: “This year you will eat what grows by itself, and the second year what springs from that. But in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above.

They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
