Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.

Is there not warfare to man upon the earth, and his days as the days of a hireling? As the servant will gape for the shadow, and as the hireling will wait for his work: So was I caused to possess to me months of vanity, and nights of toil were allotted to me.
Look away from him and be shall cease, till he shall delight as an hireling in his day.

He says to them, Retire also to the vineyard; and whatever be just, ye shall receive. And it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen, and give back to them the wages, beginning from the last even to the first.

For who shall give a clean thing from an unclean? Not one. If his days are determined, the number of his months with thee; thou madest his limit; he shall not pass over. Look away from him and be shall cease, till he shall delight as an hireling in his day. For there is hope for a tree if it shall be cut down, and it shall yet revive, and its suckers shall not cease. If its root shall grow old in the earth, and its trunk shall die in the dust From the smell of water it will break forth, and make foliage as a plant And man will die and be weak: and man will expire, and where is he?
