The LORD’s Vineyard

1In thatH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 will take His sharpH7186, greatH1419, and mightyH2389 swordH2719, and bring judgmentH6485 onH5921 LeviathanH3882 the fleeingH1281 H5921 serpentH5175 1—LeviathanH3882 the coilingH6129 serpentH5175—and He will slayH2026 the dragonH8577 of the seaH3220. 2In thatH1931 dayH3117:

“SingH6030 about a fruitfulH2531 vineyardH3754.3IH589, the LORDH3068, am its keeperH5341;I water it continuallyH8248 H7281.I guard itH5341 nightH3915 and dayH3117so no oneH6435 can disturbH6485 itH5921;4I am notH369 angryH2534.If only thornsH7898 and briersH8068 confronted MeH5414,I would marchH4421 and trample themH6585,I would burn themH6702 to the groundH3162.5OrH176 let them lay claimH2388 to My protectionH4581;let them makeH6213 peaceH7965 with Me—yes, let them makeH6213 peaceH7965 with Me.”

6In the days to comeH935, JacobH3290 will take rootH8327.IsraelH3478 will budH6524 and blossomH6692and fillH4390 the whole worldH6440 H8398 with fruitH8570.

7Has the LORD struck IsraelH5221 as He struckH4347 her oppressorsH5221 H518?Was she killedH2026 like those who slayed herH2027 H2026?8By warfareH5432 and exileH7971 2 You contended with herH7378and removed herH1898 with a fierceH7186 windH7307,as on the dayH3117 the east windH6921 blows.9ThereforeH3651 H2063 Jacob’sH3290 guiltH5771 will be atoned forH3722,and the fullH3605 fruitH6529 of the removalH5493 of his sinH2403 will be thisH2088:3When he makesH7760 allH3605 the altarH4196 H68 stonesH68like crushedH5310 bits of chalkH1615,noH3808 Asherah polesH842 or incense altarsH2553will remain standingH6965.

10ForH3588 the fortifiedH1219 cityH5892 lies desertedH910—a homesteadH5116 abandonedH7971, a wildernessH4057 forsakenH5800.ThereH8033 the calvesH5695 grazeH7462, and thereH8033 they lie downH7257;they stripH3615 its branches bareH5585.11When its limbsH7105 are dryH3001,they are broken offH7665.WomenH802 comeH935 and use them for kindlingH215 ;forH3588 thisH1931 is a peopleH5971 withoutH3808 understandingH998.ThereforeH5921 H3651 their MakerH6213 has noH3808 compassion on themH7355,and their CreatorH3335 shows them noH3808 favorH2603.

In thatH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 will threshH2251 from the flowingH7641 EuphratesH5104 4 toH5704 the WadiH5158 of EgyptH4714, and youH859, O IsraelitesH1121 H3478, will be gatheredH3950 oneH259 by oneH259. 13AndH1961 in thatH1931 dayH3117 a greatH1419 ram’s hornH7782 will soundH8628, and those who were perishingH6 in AssyriaH776 H804 will come forthH935 with those who were exilesH5080 in EgyptH776 H4714. And they will worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 on the holyH6944 mountainH2022 in JerusalemH3389.
