Thematic Bible



He broke up the soil, cleared it of stones,
and planted it with the finest vines.
He built a tower in the middle of it
and even dug out a winepress there.
He expected it to yield good grapes,
but it yielded worthless grapes.

Then the Angel of the Lord stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards, with a stone wall on either side.

How long will you threaten a man?
Will all of you attack
as if he were a leaning wall
or a tottering stone fence?

I went by the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense. Thistles had come up everywhere, weeds covered the ground, and the stone wall was ruined.

A day will come for rebuilding your walls;
on that day your boundary will be extended.
