For before the harvest, when the bud has sprouted, and the ripening fruit appears, he will cut off the unproductive shoots with pruning knives; he will prune the tendrils.
Go up among her vineyard terraces and destroy them,but do not finish them off.Prune away her shoots,for they do not belong to the Lord.
