They made me keeper of the vineyards,
But my own vineyard (my complexion) I have not kept.”

The more his fruit,
The more altars he made [to Baal];
The richer his land,
The better he made the [idolatrous] pillars.

[He looked] for righteousness, but in fact, [He heard] a cry of distress and oppression.
