But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on one side, and a wall on the other side.

You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old time have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit in the land that the LORD your God gives you to possess it.

Why have you then broken down its hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck its fruit?

The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made a highway.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

The slothful man says, There is a lion outside, I shall be slain in the streets.

The slothful man says, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whosoever breaks through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

And now; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down:

As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

The best of them is like a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen and your punishment comes; now shall be their perplexity.

Your princes are like the locusts, and your officials like the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges on the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country:

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

You have broken down all his hedges; you have brought his strongholds to ruin.

And now; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down:

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country:

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and weeds had covered its face, and its stone wall was broken down.

There were chambers in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, opposite the separate courtyard, and opposite the building.
