2 “In that day sing to her, ‘A vineyard of delight!’
3 I, Adonai, watch over it, I water it every moment. I guard it day and night, so that no one may harm it.
4 It is not that I have wrath. Who would give me thorns and thistles? Into battle I would march against them! I would burn them up altogether!
5 Rather let them rely on My strength. Let them make peace with Me— make peace with Me.”
6 In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Did He strike Israel as He struck those who struck them? Or were they slain as their slayers were slain?
8 You contended with her by banishing her, by driving her away. With His fierce wind He expelled them on the day of the east wind.
