vineyard than I already did
for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring
forth sour fruit?

stubble, and the flame consumeth the
chaff, so their root shall be as
rottenness, and their
blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and

plotted your ruin, saying:
Let us go up against Judah, and
vex it, and let us make a breach therein
for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:

invade Judah,
terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can

With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Men will go there with bow and
arrow,

for oxen to
graze and sheep to
trample.
