7 But if you smile on us,we will be saved.
8 We were like a grapevineyou brought out of Egypt.You chased other nations awayand planted us here.
9 Then you cleared the ground,and we put our roots deep,spreading over the land.
10 Shade from this vine coveredthe mountains.Its branches climbedthe mighty cedars
11 and stretched to the sea;its new growth reachedto the river.
12 Our Lord, why have youtorn down the wallfrom around the vineyard?You let everyone who walks bypick the grapes.
13 Now the vine is gobbled upby pigs from the forestand other wild animals.
