15:6 “Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Like the wood of the vine is among the trees of the forest which I have provided as fuel for the fire – so I will provide the residents of Jerusalem 3 as fuel. 4 15:7 I will set 5 my face against them – although they have escaped from the fire, 6 the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them. 15:8 I will make 7 the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign Lord.”
17:6 It sprouted and became a vine,
spreading low to the ground; 8
its branches turning toward him, 9 its roots were under itself. 10
So it became a vine; it produced shoots and sent out branches.
5:1 I 11 will sing to my love –
a song to my lover about his vineyard. 12
My love had a vineyard
on a fertile hill. 13
5:2 He built a hedge around it, 14 removed its stones,
and planted a vine.
He built a tower in the middle of it,
and constructed a winepress.
He waited for it to produce edible grapes,
but it produced sour ones instead. 15
5:3 So now, residents of Jerusalem, 16
people 17 of Judah,
you decide between me and my vineyard!
5:4 What more can I do for my vineyard
beyond what I have already done?
When I waited for it to produce edible grapes,
why did it produce sour ones instead?
21:33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner 18 who planted a vineyard. 19 He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Then 20 he leased it to tenant farmers 21 and went on a journey. 21:34 When the harvest time was near, he sent his slaves 22 to the tenants to collect his portion of the crop. 23 21:35 But the tenants seized his slaves, beat one, 24 killed another, and stoned another. 21:36 Again he sent other slaves, more than the first, and they treated them the same way. 21:37 Finally he sent his son to them, 25 saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 21:38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and get his inheritance!’ 21:39 So 26 they seized him, 27 threw him out of the vineyard, 28 and killed him. 21:40 Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 21:41 They said to him, “He will utterly destroy those evil men! Then he will lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his portion at the harvest.”
