8 You brought a vine from Egypt.You forced out the nations and planted it.
9 You cleared the ground for itso that it took root and filled the land.
10 Its shade covered the mountains.Its branches covered the mighty cedars.
11 It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea.Its shoots reached the Euphrates River.
12 Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine?All who pass by are picking its fruit.
13 Wild boars from the forest graze on it.Wild animals devour it.
14 O God, commander of armies, come back!Look from heaven and see!Come to help this vine.
