Here is what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge and break down the wall that protects it. I will let wild animals eat it and trample it down. It will turn into a desert, neither pruned nor cultivated. It will be covered with thorns and briars. I will command the clouds not to send rain. read more.

I gave them my laws and made my rules known to them. If people obey them they will live. I also gave them certain days to worship me as a sign between us so that they would know that I, Jehovah, made them holy. But the people of Israel rebelled against me in the desert. They did not live by my laws. They rejected my rules. If people obey them, they will live. They dishonored the days to worship me. So I was going to pour out my fury on them in the desert and completely wipe them out.
Hear this word Jehovah spoke against you, O children of Israel! It is against the whole family that I brought out of the land of Egypt: Of all the families of the earth I have chosen (known) only you. Therefore I will punish you for all your sins.
