Judah, God’s Vineyard

Now I will sing a song for my friend, my love song about his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.

A Song of Praise to God

At that time you will say, “I praise you, Lord! You have been angry with me, but don’t be angry with me now. Show your love to me.

False Gods Are Useless

Some people make idols, but they are worthless. They love their statues, which are useless. Those who serve as witnesses for these statues cannot even see. They don’t know enough to be ashamed.

You will never again be called ‘The People God Left.’ Your land will never again be called ‘The Land God Destroyed.’ You will be called ‘The People God Loves.’ Your land will be called ‘God’s Bride,’ because the Lord loves you, and your land will be his.

A Prayer for God to Help His People

Please, look down from the heavens. See what is happening now. Look down at us from your great and holy home in heaven. Where is your strong love for us? Where is your compassion? Why are you hiding your kind love from me?
