8: Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9: Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

10: The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11: She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12: Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13: The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14: Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15: And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16: It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
